Help, my windows are squeaking!

After detailing my truck (including windexing the windows and armour-alling the weather stripping) my rear windows are squeaking really bad when operated up & down. I didn't windex the fronts because they are tinted with after factory tint.

What can I do to the windows to make them operate quietly again?

Get some silicone spray and lubricate the channel rails and guides. that should take care of the squeaking problem and speed up the raising and lowering as well.

Another option is to use "Silglide" on the window channels. It is a silicon jelly that comes in a tube like tooth paste. Put a bit on the end of your finger and rub/smear it on/into the window channel. Also works on the door weather stripping, etc.
