Pop down to Halfords (or whoever your local car accessories shop is) and get a spray can of 'Rubber and Vinyl Lubricant'. Spray some on a paper towel and rub it along the sqeaky bits.

Sorted. For a couple of weeks anyway... I know what the roads in Ireland are like so you'll never lose the squeaks completely.

I had the creaking and when I looked my drivers window doesn't fit exactly in the space, it's slightly out. I have to put my window down and then back up again.

Also on my passenger door when I pull off, after about 3 seconds I get a big thud on the window as if someone has run against it. I have heard that theyr'e not the most 'well put together' cars in the world!! Try the thing Vince suggested, will probably work for you.

Jo, my drivers side window is exactly the same! a bit disaligned id say.... coming out... but then again it doesnt leak......

mine doesn't leak neither, it's just i feel air now and again and look and see a bit gap where my window should be!!

Also just lately my windows seem to take a few pushes to get back up, could be the weather?????

sometimes when i hear the creaking noises i open and close the roof catches and it stops - worth a try.

I had the creaking on both of my handles where you close the roof, so i found out that it had two small rubber feet but they were almost destroyed, so i replaced them with otherones thicker and the creacking now it's gone
