Creaking door seals

halfalife · 09-08-2015, 08:18 AM

When the weather turned warmer around april, my door seals started to creak.
I took it to the dealer and they said it must be something that I've cleaned the car with and gave me a bottle of solution to wipe down the seals.
This stopped the noise for a little while, but the noise always came back.
Now, I have the facelifted model and the non-facelift before this and never had a problem with that.
I've had it back three times now and they have agreed the change the seals.
Has anyone else had this issue ?

I have this on my pre LCI but only on the drivers side, although mine appears to creak more so during the winter months. After reading a thread on here I purchased some Sonax GummiPflege and used that on the rubber seals and it seemed to do the job. Unfortunately I won't know whether I will need to re-apply until it gets colder!

Yep the colder weather is arriving and my faithful pre-LC1 is aagain starting to creak from the door seals. Dealer had it back in March and blamed me for cleaning the car as the cause..

They applied something and it didn't really improve much, God was more help when he popped the sun out and warmed us up - that seemed to stop it.

Might try the Sonax GummiPflege - or emigate to somewhere warmer

Gummi Pfedge is the best solution. My dealer here had some transparent tape they put on, where the top part of the door touches the metal of the vehicle body (basically the same place where we use gummi pfedge) but its not as good as gummi pfedge. It removed some of the noise, but its not totally silent.
