Scratching what paint?

I didn't mention that if you roll the window down first, the slot where the window goes up and down leaves a small opening where the window pops back out between 2 weather strips.

If the sandpaper is left flat like it is in the new package when you buy it at the store, take the flat sheet, insert it into the slot (hold onto it tight so you don't drop it into the slot!) and press the gritty side toward the surface which contacts the window when the window is rolled up.

You can do the outside or inside strip first, but after slight scuffing on the one side, wipe off any excess sand that might still be on the strip, do the other side, wipe again and be sure all sandy residue is completely removed so you don't scratch any window tinting or the glass itself if there's any grit left behind.

There shouldn't be any contact with paint if you don't fold the sandpaper in half and contact the outside of the weather strip. You only need to do the part that contacts the window and that would be the inner part of each seal.

I'm sorry if my first post was confusing. I wouldn't suggest anything that could damage the paint of someone's car. Just trying to offer a helpful suggestion. Squeaks like these would bug the beebers out of me.
