    I had exactly the same issue. Didn't really notice it late last year when I got the car but enough was enough and I couldn't stand the screeching anymore. I tried all sorts; a good clean, an IPA wipe, a hydrophobic coating, nothing worked unless it was raining of course.

    Solution was to ask my friendly Citroen dealer to have a look whilst it was in having some work done. Hey presto, touch wood not heard a single squeek since. Apparently gave it an oiling (dont't know if they meant the glass or the mechanism).

    Hope this helps?

          Hiya, I went to Tates down the road and the service dept was closed but the sales bloke said it probably just needs lubricating, he did then say something could be loose but i agree with what you said and the first thing he said. Anyway ill have to book it in so they can have a look , fingers crossed it gets sorted ! If there had been more sun i would have got is sorted sooner, It was so loud today i deff cant leave it !
          Thanks again

              No probs Nicky.

              It's not only annoying but also embarrassing especially at a drive thru for example. As I said mine was lubricated/greased/oiled a couple of months back and hasn't screeched once since.

                        just buy a can of silicone spray and spray in the tracks either side when window is down ,go up and down a few times.

                        noise gone.
