Squeak coming from door, I'm sure

[hokie1525]

I think the creaks and squeaks are coming from the flexible seal in the door. With the door closed, reach up and move the seal with your fingers. That squeak is the sound I hear when I go over bumps. So maybe the door could be better secured on the hinges? Or need some kind of washer?

Apply generously a high quality silicone (liquid or Vaseline) on the door seals (all of them) and weatherstrips. This most likely will get you "squeak-free" in no time

Mine needed a new seal. Tolerances between door and frame being out of whack may cause premature wear of the seal (in my opinion)

Go around and shut your doors, the noise they make when the close should clue you in to what door is producing the noise. 3 of mine close with a solid 'thunk' the other closes with a more rattly slam, this was because of a flattened seal (caused by door being too tight?) towards the top of the door, and this is where rattling while driving was coming from. The seal had compressed over time and the tension between the door and the frame of the car had lessened to the point where it produced the rattles.

I don't really get a "rattle" per se, more of a squeak. Going to try the silicone trick.

You mean like a silicone caulk from Lowes? How do I know high quality from low? Vaseline, as in moisturizer?

Applying the sealant to the door seals makes a huge difference.

NOT Caulk! That will glue your doors shut! I used silicone grease, purchased at Amazon:

lol that wasn't facetious. I have seen a difference firsthand. All of my interior noises come from the sunroof and the door seals. It's a shame because I was hoping that Hyundai got this right with the 2nd gen because of all the talk about it being stiffer and how tight it is (when new). I'm honestly not sure I'm willing to take a chance with the 3rd gen.

Will this leave an oily residue all over the door, or do you "massage it in" like moisturizer?

When i say good quality I mean the type of silicone spray professional grade.
I have used BMW Silicone spray with very good results - you can buy it from any BMW dealers.
