Helicipter tape along top edge of back window, plus I regularly lubricate the seals with a seal cleaning/reviving compound (can't remember the name). Some people use grease on the seals.

Raceproved rear window clips help too

For the rear screen you might want to check and possibly replace the strip of foam tape that is under the boot lid, at the edge of the side that is close to the rear screen.

I don't think that the boot lid is supposed to touch the screen, but in my car it does. Having that foam tape there, it goes between the boot lid and the screen and therefore does not squeak.

In addition to helicopter tape on the top part of the screen on the outside, I have also put velcro (the soft bit, of course..) on the top inside. But, the sun has ruined the sticky side, and does not look great.

But everybody here seems to solve the squeaks by those magic clips...
