Cool Horrible Squeal!!!!!

Gentlemen;

I have developed a REALLY annoying squeal around some piece of glass I believe. Do any of you know of a good way to systematically find the squeal.

Thank you all,
Mike

describe the squeal more... is it like an engine noise or just a little creak. Have you tried lubricating the tracks of the window? Can you tell which side its coming from.. can you tell if its on top or bottom? Look for warn away paint... that may cause a creek or squeal.

My bad,

Here is some more info:

This high pitch whistle happens at speeds between 35 and 70. It also changes with the wind direction and velocity. I believe it to be at the drivers window, but it could be the vent or the rear slide.

This is definitely not an engine noise, rather an air seepage squeal.

Is there a way of determining the cause, or should I just replace all of the weather stripping?

Thanks,
Mike
