creaky door seals

There's a simple solution to this.......













Upgrade to a 3 door car 

I know this was a joke but how would that help? People with 3 door cars have complained about it too.

Oh my mistake, thought it was only a problem with the back doors.

This was the first thing I noticed when going from a 5 series estate to a GTi 5 door. That and road noise. It's amazing how quite the 5 was compared to the GTi. Especially from the rear wheels. I keep clicking the window switches thinking I've left one down a bit.....but nope.

Update on creaky door seals, since lubricating the rubber door seals and waxing the door frames where the felt seals  fit, all creaking has gone! sorry cannot define which treatment cleared the issue as I did both at the same time. Still have creaking by A post/ door card though, this is still an issue and will have to look at a way to a quick cure.

That's good news then 

'A' pillar noise seems harder to diagnose.  Let us know if you find a cure for it. I'll do same if I manage to resolve it.

i though A-Pillar is the easy one, its long piece below the glove box that really needs bending / pushing back into place and the lube mid to lower door seal ....Gone !!!!

A pillar noise can be the clip for the sunvisor buzzing. The metal bit in it bends and needs bending back.
I thought it was the a pillar or behind the dash at first.
I know the how to remove it was posted ages ago.
Mines started doing it ago as ive used the sun visor alot of late.
