Anyone else have this annoying issue? It seems like dirt/dust gets caught onto the felt lining of the windows. Rolling the windows up or down always make a squeaking sound. I find myself constantly trying to blow out the dust but it just temporary fixes the issue.

Some silicone spray lube works well for that or the like.

The dust wont make the noise its just not lubricated. As well the noise usually comes from the sides and not usually the main window seal. Regardless of all that noise, silicone just wipe some on it

I see. So do I just spray it down the seal into the door or is there a specific spot I should be aiming towards? The truck is brand new (2018 and have had almost 2 months) so I didn’t even think of something needing lubricated this soon.

Id spray it on a cloth or rag and work it into the seals on the sides of the window. As for the main seal at the bottom, you can spray it onto the seal and work the window up and down a few times, then run the window all the way up and clean up the excess
