You have a few options. Take off the weather stripping. Take off the glass. Don't use your car when it rains. Get a different car. That's about it unless you can invent rubber that doesn't squeak when wet

I knew how to use these switches within one use of them, but the sweet spot for manual scroll is too small. I've had the car nearly two years and I _still_ push too hard on them really often.

I suggest you clean the glass parts that touch the weather striping with alcohol.

Then, apply a silicone substance to the weather stripping that contacts the glass.

Back in the day, we never had that problem .........

I'm pretty sure the manual doesn't have much explanation on this either, by that I mean it's very easy to glance past:

All it really says is to "light push the switch in the opposite direction" which basically means they would like you to use the auto function and stop it where you like

It isn't the rubbers squealing it is the plastic guides inside. The TSB for freezing windows fixed my squeal but I understand it didn't help for others. Since part of the job includes changing the guides and that is a pile of work I suspect some dealers just swap the weather strip and call it good enough.
