Default Driver's Window Issue

I looked through a ton of threads, but didn't seem to find this particular issue.

My window sort of groans when I drive with it fully up. If I lower it just 1/2 an inch, it stops. It will also stop if I push hard on the panel next to the window inside the car.

I assume the window is rubbing the rubber seal and making the groans when I'm driving. Any suggestions on how to fix? A little silicone on the door seal?

All suggestions appreciated.

Maybe it's the indexing motor stuck. You could unhook the battery, then reconnect it and before you re index the windows go for a drive and see if it sounds the same.

Does it groan when you operate the window? My 2005 coupe's driver window groaned when operating. I smeared vinyl conditioner on the window and ran the window up and down until the noise finally went away.

Sure w/could explain the groan OP's hearing 'til window's lowered a bit. Your suggestion just might do the trick.
