VF annoying window/door rattle

[wetwork65]

This makes sense, as after I go through the car wash and everything is wet and lubed, the annoying creaking noise dissappears until it dries out. I tired various lubricants before on the seals with minor improvement but no complete solution. I"ll try the silicone lubricant next. The tape around the door strikers cured a different noise for me...more of a knock. There is one more rattle coming from within the door panel, just above the speaker...when you press on the door trim here is dissappears so that will be coming off soon.

Then there is the new rattle coming from inside the roof liner behind the sunroof....

Given I'm always looking for the most economical solution, I used Durex Silicone lube from Coles on clearance at $2 for each tube. Totally sick of the creaking door.
It stated that it was safe for condoms, thus I figured it would be OK on door rubbers. Silicon aerosol didnt work very well at all.
2 weeks so far and door creaking gone immediately after application. I found a little goes a long way so didn't have to use much or it starts dripping into the car. So will keep the rest for re-application to the door. My wife wondered what I was up to in the driveway
Also may have to find a use for the second tube I bought.

What you do in the privacy of your own home is your business

My MSE has just started creaking (after only 4000k), so I think I'll head down to Coles at lunchtime!

I could offer a suggestion if you don't mind feeling a bit of a ********.

2 months now and no creaking from the door. I reckon I've found an effective and economical solution here.
More than once in my life I've been pleased to have Durex ready to go.

I purchased this and was a waste of money. Next job is to lube the soor seals up with lube lol.

Well lubing my sunroof and door seals didn't get rid of my creaking, mine seems to be coming from under the roof lining just behind the windscreen

Look at the creaking windscreen thread with the silicon spray fix.

Had this issue, whenever I would go over a bump. I first tried silicon lube spray (WD40), it didn't really do anything.

Today, I tried silicon grease (Herschell) from Super Cheap.. so far so good!

Shall report back after a week.

Lube it up with Durex Silicone Stef.
3 months with no creaking, works for me.
