    My 458 window on the passenger side squeaks when the top of the window glass contacts with the rubber window seal at the very last part of the window closing. Is there something I can do to prevent the squeak? Some sort of lube for the rubber window seal?

    There was a string of recommendations posted here just a few weeks ago for a similar problem. You might want to do another search to see all of those recommendations.

    Putting in a plug for the gummi pflege stift. My 488's window squealed whenever the doors close and the glass moves up; found the issue was in the black triangle at the front edge of the glass. Put this gummi stuff in there and now it's silent, but also used it on the rest of the door gasket, spider roof gaskets, etc for maintenance.
