Squeaky back window!

Closed or slightly open. It’s pretty high pitch 

Mine does the something similar unless it's ALL the way open.  I looked into it and was told the factory 1/8 felt around the rear sliding window wears out and replacing it will shut the squeaks up.  Took it to a window place near my work, and was told they couldn't get the felt anymore!  For now I just folded some tiny slips of paper and wedged them in between the panes to make it quiet, but in the future I'd like to get it fixed proper.

I have the exact same problem.  Usually just open the window all the way.  When latched it doesn't always squeak but still does often enough to be annoying.  

 

I'd agree the felt is the likely cause.  Should be able to find some replacement fairly easily, will be a DIY solution tho.

Good to know. I'll try and find something that will work!

I’ve noticed that my bucket seat squeaks when it’s back all the way. Either the seat or headrest contacts either the cab wall trim or the window. I just set the recline a little more upright so it wasn’t touching, and Bob’s your auntie.

Of course that won’t help if the squeak is the slider rattling in it’s frame, but it’s worth a shot.
