I am currently experiencing a fairly annoying creaking coming from the rear window. The creaking sounds like ice rubbing tightly against rubber - and is only present on cold days..
At first I thought the noise was coming from the rubber seal/duct that is encloses the entire window (visible from the outside).. quite a lot of ice was clogged up into this duct. However, after having removed the ice and warmed the car up for over two days in a garage, the noise is persisting.
Has anyone experienced a similar squeaking/creaking?

There's a fix where they use a silicon remover called Carbaflo. My dealer tried it twice. After the creaking came back the felty sill bits were replace. seems to have done the trick so far.
