You could try a liberal dousing of Pledge Harry which may shut it up.

Halfords also sell a silicone spray at around a fiver which may help.

Silicone spray worked for me. Wish I could remember which way to spell it though.

And what car is it perchance?

There's a thread over in Technical Matters (**)

Maybe the info there *may* help you.

(**) btw, that's where this thread is heading later today.
