Try Wurth Rubber Care and your problem is gone. Bavaria (BMW) use this in Norway:-)
I use this product one time pr. year and the noise is gone.

Before you go the (proven) route of silicone, carboflo, gummipflege, BMW teflon tape or even new seals there is an easy fix you should try:
If you clean all the felt parts of your seals somewhat throughly, for example with a high powered carwash vacuum cleaner and if necessary a new toothbrush to get in the upper slits for the glass windows the noise just might be gone.
Will cost you 10 minutes max and chances are you'll be noise free for quite a while. If not, address the rubber seals...

I take a cardboard and cut out a thin stripe and spray through. I also use a small cup and a paintbrush or applied the product to a cloth first then applied to the seals.
