Angry Passenger side Ttop squeak?

Just noticed this driving home tonight. How can I get rid of this? Do I need to lub or replace the weatherstripping? Car only has 9100 miles on it.

Try to lube the weatherstrips. That usually does it for me. I lube mine about 3-4 times a year and no problems,except when its REAL cold out(like under 10-20*) then I will still get a little squeek out of them. Use a dielectric grease to lube them,I have had good luck with BMW "Gummi-phlege". I know its sounds sick! but that is what its for. It preserves the rubber and makes it last longer.

Dielectric Grease? I was going to try Silicon spray. But whatever works. Thanks.

Dielectric grease is what GM recommends.

You spread it on with a rag, let it sit awhile, and wipe off the excess.

Silicone spray has chemicals that will dry the weatherstrip.
