Can someone point me to some topics about noise coming from window seals?

Recently my right front window, makes noise when window is closed, but no noise when window is a bit down and I am looking for solutions to this problem, assuming it is the window rubber seals which causes this. However I could not locate a topic on this subject so any help would be appreciated.

Sorry probably I was not clear. I'm not talking about wind noise around the windshield.

I am talking about squeaks at bumps around passanger door, when driving slowly.

I think the recall was about door seals, and mine were all changed. I am talking about the rubber/velvet material, the door window closes upon on top of the door.

SI B 51 02 05 issued in June/05 is the one that helps you have your door seals replaced.

Well, as I said above, my door seals were changed already. The noise is coming from front right window velvety seals.

This has been addressed before. You need to lubricate the seals. Leather conditioner works great. The sound is from friction of the seals. Just apply it to the seals and the sound will be gone.

or tell your dealership to do it. I had it done once in my car already and twice in my old E60.

Can someone describe the process of lubricating the seals... That is to say, what does the dealer use to cpmlete the process. I fear is that if I apply the worng agent, I could ruin the integrity of the seals and cuase premature aging.
