Pro tip: a dab of white lithium grease on the rubber window seals stops that awful squeak

I was chasing a squeak on a customer's 2010 F-150 for like an hour, thinking it was suspension. My old mentor from the shop in Daytona told me to try this trick, and it worked in 5 minutes. Anyone got a better fix for dry, noisy seals?

Huh, you really think it's pointless? I've had that white lithium grease trick hold up for months on my own truck, and I live in Florida where the sun is brutal. What kind of climate are you in? Because I'm wondering if the heat and humidity down here actually helps the grease soak in better than somewhere dry like Arizona.

That trick works wonders on sun-baked door seals too... just a tiny bit.

Honestly @angelas78, I have to ask if it's even worth the effort. Those seals get baked every single summer, so they're going to dry out again no matter what. It feels like putting a tiny bandage on a problem that just keeps coming back. I've tried that trick before and the fix lasted maybe a couple weeks. At some point you just accept that the seals look a little cracked. It's not like the door stops working.
