Default horrible noise when putting windows down

i have an 01 a4 and whenever i put the windows down there is a horrible screeching noise...does anyone know how to get rid of it? or at least lessen the earsplitting sound of fingernails on a chalkboard

do you have tints? that sometimes does it

my car does it only for a few weeks out of the year when my big *** tree drops sap all over my car [:@], once i wash it it goes away

you can probally just replace the window linings, that's probally the problem
