Great stuff, I ordered some on the fleabay just now, hopefully it does the trick. Its only a few quid anyway.

Last thing I wanted was a dreaded trip to the stealers!

in my expereince they cant fix it, on the foci they changed rubbers for people but it of course comes straight back when they have been on a while, i find applying gummi 2-3 times a year keep it going nicely, that and keeping both area of contact clean etc

Gaz, my A3 was terrible for it, loads of people over on audi-sport.net complain about it   :angry:
I believe it affects 3-door cars to a greater degree, with the extra large doors.

Eeek.  WD40 and rubber are a bad mix.  I'd try and remove the WD40 residue, and use only a silicone based lubricant on any kind of natural rubber, including door seals.

I meant to reply back to this sooner...
I got a bottle of this Gummi Pfledge stuff about 2 weeks ago and since I applied it, I've been rattle free! My doors are as quiet as a mouse, no more creaking over the bumps, it feels like a new car again - all for 10 euro and no dreaded visit to a stealer :grin:

Massive thanks to 182_blue for this extremely helpful suggestion  :smiley:
