In my experience you are more likely to do damage to window seals with a squeegee  than with a brush if you are using both sensibly.

It is possible to damage the seals with both methods but, detergent is more likely to degrade the rubber than water.

I was always told that washing up liquid degrades the seals over time. Maybe not the newer neoprene low sight line seals, but the older rubber type.
