No more noise.

Default hmmm...anyone know if that works on the door seals?

My car sounds like a bowl of rice crispies when I take off from a stop. All the seals rubbing together.

Default It does, but be careful in ultra cold weather...May cause the seals to freeze/stick together, and

then tear...At least that's what my service tech told me. In my case, they had to replace the door seal anyway...But that was 1 Audi ago.

Default Yes, use Aerospace 303 Protectant. After 1-2 applications, don't need again for months...

Default Shame on you. You forgot to check the FAQ....

;^)

If you used that silicone on any rubber, go out and wipe it off thoroughly. Then use Aerospace 303 Protectant (available at most auto and boat supply retailers).

Silicone products have propellants/solvents that actually dry the rubber out. So, your rubber gets addicted to it.

The Aerospace product does not do this, and protects against UV also. While you're at it, do the trunk and hood rubber.

Creaks that sound like headliner or interior trim are often from the door and sunroof weatherstripping, particularly the rear doors. The sound bounces in such a way that you can't be sure of the location. But, one by one, you can drive up a driveway at an angle, so that the car torques, and leave one or more door or sunroof open. You'll narrow down the source quickly.

Default I know.

But this is for creaking in the guide rails. Perhaps we should add it to the FAQ since it is OEM with a part #?

I would never use it on any rubber, thanks to your FAQ.
