Squeaky/creaking door or window rubber seals?

[scottdaryll89]

Do you mean the black one with the the Volkswagen on the bottom? Is so that creaks on mine too but I’m more saying like the door rubber seals when you go over bumps etc

Yes its that trim.

And it doesn't do it when its cold/wet....

Yea you press it and it makes the creak noise doesn’t it.

Ordered both these to give it a try for the small cost, rather than make a trip to the dealer.

I know mine is a 7.5 but just had to get this off my chest.. mines at 2.5 years and I've got a creak around the AID binnacle and right hand side dash/wing mirror, seems to be worse if the cars been parked in the sun all day at work, really annoying and I'm contemplating booking it in but what would the dealer do? is taking the dash apart even worse in the end?  didn't have it when I bought it but a few weeks on our crappy UK roads has brought it on.  Also that fan noise, is that normal? only comes on when the car has been in the sun.  Just got to weigh up taking it apart to living with it, shame as otherwise it's as good as new.

Gave mine a going over with the Gummi Pffledge again so I’ll see how that goes.
I’ve order some Krytox and I’ll clean all the seals and apply and then see how it goes.
TBH, it’s not that bad, but the car is so cool in every other way, seems a shame not to perfect the icing on the cake.

Well I have sprayed the seals with the Vw spray and all the creaks have gone  not sure how long it will last but when it goes I will use the other bottle and see how long that lasts.

It should last forever as long as you don't use any other type of wax / silicone on the rubber seals     It did with mine anyway with a re application every so often.   It's also a good idea to use the rubber treatment on the top felted strips on the doors / window edges and avoid getting any wax / silicone on the felt too.  I've had both the squeaky / creaking doors and also a very annoying noise from the front windows which were both solved with the above thankfully !

I can also confirm that the Autoglym Vinyl & Rubber Care also works well at curing these creaks.
