2007 windows squeak.
 
Recently noticed that when the windows are closed on the Accord they make a squeaking sound with every bump on the road. I've tried relieving some of the pressure the window forces on the rubber channel by tapping the power window button but they still make noise. Is there a weather stripping softener/treatment I should try to soften them up with or should I just play the radio louder? I hate rattles, clunks and squeaks!!

Thanks,
Scott

Silicone oil, like the same stuff that makes black plastic trim look nice & dark black.

Maybe the squeaking isn't at the glass? Check the weatherstripping between the window FRAME against the door opening.

And maybe even check there's grease on the latch mechanism??

This sounds like the same problem I have with my '06 Accord 4 dr. Dressing the rubber gaskets periodically with a silicone product as Jim mentioned has done the trick for me. I know of at least one dealer that does it with every oil change as part of the service. I get the impression it is a very common problem with these cars. Fortunately the solution is a simple periodic and easy maintenance.

I will definately give the silicone treatment a try. Thanks for the suggestion.
