Default Window Creeeks....Need Help!!

My drivers side window makes a creeeking noise when I roll the window all the way up. It's coming from the back top of the window. Really loud and annoying, even a passenger asked what the noise was. It only does it when the window is ALL the way up. My warranty just ran out (of course) so I really don't want to take it in. Anyone had a problem like this before? Any help is GREATLY!! appreciated....

Thanks

Check to make sure your weatherstriping is not pinched or pushed in the corner (compare both sides); this was my problem. It may also be time for a window tip-in adjustment. :yesnod: :)

I have the same problem on my passenger side. It goes away if I Armor all the weatherstripping (for about a week or two) which leads me to think either the window is moving up and down or the whole door is. I haven't looked into fixing it myself yet.

I took mine in a month ago right before the warranty ended to have this fixed they said they fixed it. It made the same noise as soon as I left the dealer!!!!
