Default Window SCREECH!

Any of you guys have/had windows that screech when you roll them down? It's unbearably loud!

I did a search and only found one result like the problem I'm having. The person who responded posted this, "wax the window , seriously , clean the window , then wax it with any type or automotive wax." Good idea?

Anyone have any fix for this?

Thanks.

I had an old Buick that did that, It was a little fuzzy pad that had fallen off of one of the guides inside the door. I don't know if Audi doors are the same, might start there.

Are your regulator clips there? two white/tan pieces of plastic. My pass door has both and doesn't screech and my drivers door is missing both and screeches like a banshee.

All of my windows screech when it's hot enough out! I have always attributed this noise to the tint film on the windows, but I've never tried to fix this issue.
