Question windscreen creak after hard frost?

We had hard frost for a week up here and ever since my screens been creaking quite a bit (2006 wrx). Has anybody had anything similair and found a cure? Is there a simple repair available from dealers (200 mile round trip for me so if i can fix it myself it'd be a bonus). thanks for looking.

Try running a tiny amount of silicon spray (the kind you use for elec windows etc) around the edge of the outer trim, where it contacts paint/bodywork (black metal trim on outside that has a rubber edge to bodywork) wiping any excess off.

Had to do this with my new screen as the rubber was squeaking, worked a treat, may be worth a try..
