Drafty and creaking front windows

Anyone have anyluck fixing these issues. My front driver and passenger windows are drafty. The front driver creaks or squeaks when the front end bounces on our great roads.

I've had this problem since I bought mine three years ago. I've packed foam weatherstripping in the channels and that helped a bit. I also take the screens out when I'm driving and that eliminates most of the rattles. I store them under the mattress in the overhead bunk and they stay flat and unbroken. I remember reading somewhere that there was some sort of window kit you could buy but I couldn't find the post when I went back. If anyone has any ideas that actually work there are a lot of people on her that would be interested.

Perhaps we have different model units, ours is a 378xl. We have never had a squeak, rattle or draft around our windows. Perhaps we have different windows, what is the model of your unit. That would help on future posts so folks with similar units could comment.

I have a 2013 Georgetown 351DS. I bought it used so no clue what it was like when new. That said my windows rattle a lot. If you push gently in the middle of the glass, the rattling stops. I'm thinking of creating some weird contraption to apply pressure on its own.
If there are better solutions would LOVE to hear them.

I had some squeaking from our side windows and what I did was slide open the window and cut like a 1/2" long piece of Velcro (just one side of the Velcro) and wrapped a couple pieces of it around the edge of the window that slides closed. One toward the top and one toward the bottom edge of the window. Worked great and squeaks are gone. Occasionally I get a rattle from the screen but I can live with that.

That sounds like a great idea... will give it a try!
