Krytox hadn't stopped mine creaking.
 It may stop the drip that sometimes comes onto the elec window controls in downpour of rain I hope so hope time and money not wasted.
 It is definitely the doors as I got chauffeured round listening to were the noise was coming from.
So white greesed the catches, hinges, door lock mechanism. Little better.

I can remember reading somewere at one point someone not sure who it was said wax the paint were the felt sits inside the door frame. Tried that with collenite  wax its a little better. Anyone recomend a better wax for this area?

Clipped a kerb....again    I no longer care 

Mother has done the same only been done for 3 weeks, I'm now on the look for so Ed35 alloys or a big rubber ring to go round the whole car ....

Thought you were never letting her drive it again

I said that about the wax snoopy, but that was more to do with stopping rain sitting on roof from running into car when you open the doors.  I always wax that bit and it worked great for the rain issue but didn't resolve the noisy seals in the long term.  Krytox however did work.  I used it on both the rubber and the felt part.  Applied it sparingly with fingers.

Thank you. Will gi give it another go.

Make sure you oil it under the felt part where it is folded over the rubber, failing that the door needs adjustment to make fit properly (something heir fritz should have done at the factory) so try getting it under warranty.

she only moved it off the drive and managed to hit the wall, it was my fault for parking it wrong ... obviously ...

I also said about waxing the door jams, always worked for me, i used dodo juice wax which lasted 5-6 weeks before needing to be re applied, if you press at the top of the rear door so it flexes in and out you'll hear the creak.

The Krytox may well be a more permanent fix though.

This weekend saw a long overdue clean... Due to other commitments and it being to sunny to wash a black car, or is it just me that struggles with washing a black car in direct sun light?

Anyway, washed, a layer of black hole, sealant and some wax has got it looking great again. It is now garaged till next Friday when we head down to Kent to visit family. Good job it is clean as we will be based around the Canterbury area, god forbid I would cross paths with Booth with a dirty car
