Why would you put the Jelly on your glass or metal frame of your car just rub it on the rubber seals on the door frame as well as the rubber seal on the doors itself. Of coarse if you like to rub it on your windshield,rear window,steering wheel...etc its your call,lol.

now what i meant is, the felt that actually touches the top edge of the windows (creating the seal), not applying to the windows. I say this cause i hear a creaking when the windows are up, which i dont hear when they are down.

Hi, how about the velvet black lining that runs on top of the door? Do we need to apply it there as well? Thanks.

The chemical composition of make a note "PETROLEUM JELLY" isn't the same as Vaseline. That is why I always emphasize "Petroleum Jelly". Vaseline has alcohol in its properties but Petroleum jelly doesn't.
They both seem similar but they are not.
