[QUOTE="Stranger, post: 309198, member: 492"] (to verify that you have the same problems as I did, you could just lower your window by just a tiny 1 or 2mm, and if the noise goes away, then you probably have the same issues as I had before). My solution to the creaking door frame: Apply leather care lotion generously to the felt type material on the window frame. Rub them in. You are done. 5 minutes stuff. No annoying advisor to deal with, no expensive replacement blah blah blah. My first use of this, the noise left me for more than 1.5 years. Came back a bit, I did the lotion thing again. Car now coming to 4 years. No problem. Try it. I have a few friends try this out and it worked for them also. Don't use wax, or WD40. I figured if the leather lotion is gentle to the leather, then it should be gentle enough for felt material. Or maybe we can try "wife's body lotion. hahaha". The dash board creaks, my workshop fixed that for me. I don't know what they did but I suspect they put silicon between it and the body frame at the front window side. [/QUOTE]
