Use Super-Lube on the door hinges and be sure to lube the rollers on the hinges (that's what usually squeaks.

I seem to remember reading on here that someone put an o-ring on top of roller and that fixed it, although I haven't tried it, I use my motorcycle chain lube.

After trying everything I had laying around I finally bought
a can of Aerosol white lithium grease. Not WD-40, but it worked.

Everything else seemed to work but only lasted about a week.
The spray lithium grease has held up and doing it's job for almost a year and a half.

Silicone on the rubber parts, especially weather seals and window seals, White Lithium on the metal and rollers.

If your power windows seem slow going up and down, take a paper towel, spray with silicone lube, roll the window down and clean the rubber, wipes real well that the window travels through. Spray some silicone directly on the wipes once they are clean. Your windows will go up and down just like new.
