Window rubber seal causing squeaking sound?
My car has 21k miles on it and I've owned it since Dec 2012. Recently I've been having a problem with a squeaking sound just as the window fully closes. At first I thought it was just dirty and caused extra friction causing the sound but after it never went away even when I tried cleaning it with alcohol pads and other APCs and even lubricated it with WD-40 I realized it wasn't going away. When you touch the rubber it is clear that it feels "stickier" on a certain part and doesn't seem like it will go away.
Basically as the window fully closes it catches the rubber and pulls it upwards and upon further inspection it look like the rubber has permanently deformed slightly. Has anyone encountered this kind of problem or know what I can do to fix it? Will the dealer fix this under warranty?
I have messed around with the rubber before (pulled it out and pushed it back in) which may or may not have caused it to start rubbing..
