I had my car detailed last Saturday, and now I'm hearing squeaks from around the door seals whenever the car flexes (going over speed bumps, around corners, during rapid acceleration, etc.).
I wonder if they used something to clean the door seals that's causing the squeaks.
Cool weather has finally arrived in Michigan and brought with it the first interior squeak for my Touareg. I have isolated the squeak to the center console. It happens on rough roads (plenty of those in MI) or when I rest my right arm on the console.
It appears that the console lid flexes a bit even when latched. I'm thinking about adding a couple of the clear, flexible pads to the bottom, front corners of the console lid to see if that will eliminate the problem.
I have a 03 super duty 3/4 with 45000 miles. I have squeaking sound coming from the front end. My local ford dealer says ford has been replacing those front axle seals but the noise comes back.They said the fix is to keep a dab of grease on them of which I.m doing.That does take care of it for awhile but the squeaking does come back until I put a dab of grease back on them.
View 14 RepliesSo I've always had a clunk coming from the front end of my car since I bought it last year. It happens almost every time the suspension flexes. I'm pretty sure my steering is okay as I can turn the wheel quickly and/or forcefully back and forth with the car either on or off and there is no noise; the steering feels solid.
Here is the list of things I have done so far:
-Poly sway bar bushings
-Poly end link bushings
-Poly dog bone bushings
-Cup kit (Springs and shocks)Upper strut mounts & bearings
-Ball joints
-Raxles
After a quick look at my Bentley manual, it seems the only things left to do are control arm bushings (most likely in my mind) and sub frame bushings (less likely). Is there anything else I should check for possible causes that I'm missing?
2010 Prius. The seals around the back doors keep coming off. I snap them back in place. They come off again and again.
View 2 RepliesWhen turning and going over a bump, regardless of speed or severity of the bump the door seals creaking? It's like the body twists or something.
View 10 RepliesI seen a thread on here about putting rubber tubing in your door seals to stop drafts. What size tubing is used?
View 13 RepliesI just bought a 2004.5 GLI and I quickly found out that some of the seals aren't tight. We had a pretty bad rainstorm a couple weeks after I bought it, and it left my trunk and my drivers side floor mat soaked. Not good, considering I have a subwoofer sitting there, just waiting to be destroyed.
View 1 RepliesAny good remedy for constantly freezing door seals? I have a 06 extended cab and the rubber seal between the 2 doors makes an excellent "lock" when water freezes and all but welds the doors together. I damn near broke the paddle handle trying to pull on it. I wasn't keen on dumping water on the top of the seal since the glass is so cold and the water doesn't seem to penetrate anyway. I was thinking of wiping the seals heavily with anti-freeze? or motor oil? No, a garage is not an option.
View 2 RepliesSo I bought my 03 golf 2.slow about 10 years ago used and it came with a moonroof... not a sunroof. I never really thought about it and just assumed it was a option from the factory but the seals have been leaking lately and I was looking for a replacement seal and could not find anything only sunroof parts. Is this an aftermarket moonroof where they cut a hole in the roof and added this?..I really hope not. Or did someone take the sunroof assembly out and put this in its place.
View 3 RepliesSo, now that it's cooler out sometimes, a quirk has resurfaced, one that bugged me semi-consistently last winter.
Seems that when the mercury drops, both windows in my R start making creaky, squooshy, rattly noises... but only when they're closed all the way. Forgot about this over spring/summer. If I open them a tiny bit, they're quiet. My guess/assumption/theory is that the rubbery stuff against which the top of the glass seals (when the windows are all the way closed) has lost its flexibility over the years and sorta holds the edge of the glass in place less firmly than it's supposed to. OR it's just brittle or something and that noise is the edge of the glass rubbing on it instead of sinking into it a little. And then I get that creaky/squooshy/rattly sound. It's not all that loud, but hey on one side it's right next to my ear after all.
Wondering if:
-- this theory of mine makes sense
-- replace those pieces in the door there, for whatever reason, how hard it is to do that, and where they got replacement pieces to begin with
Searching on a few things netted me nothing on this subject.
The interior door handles that is. Not the actual chrome but the black plastic that is made to be held when closing the door. Damn I hate it. Gives the car such a cheap feeling.
View 6 RepliesI am getting a groaning noise in the back storage area as the body flexes when starting to move. At first I thought it might be the spare tire mounting or the third seat but I still get the noise with the tire out and the seat out.
Does this sound like a body mount issue? Have not had any body mount noises in the front. Can I access the rear body mount without dropping the gas tank?
Have had a persistent squeak in my passenger front door since buying it used 9 months sgo. Tried WD40, even have had dealer install 2 new hinges.. but still have the loud squeak (starts about 1/2 way opening the door).
View 6 RepliesI guess it's more of an annoyance thing than anything else. When I drive I like to rest my knee on the this area where the window switch is. If I drive over a bump etc...this area squeaks. Is it worth having the dealer fix or will it just return.
View 8 RepliesI have noticed a rubber squeak from my driver's door on my 2010 ES 350. It disappears when the rubber is wet so I am thinking perhaps there is a silicon product that I could apply or another fix for this? Any solutions out there?
View 4 RepliesI have a minor squeak opening and closing the driver's door. Any recommendation for the best lubricant to use on the hinges? Is WD-40 acceptable or are there better alternatives?
View 5 RepliesI am trying to diagnose a buzz/squeak/rattle coming from the driver door. Once I press on the door, the noise goes away, so I would like to take the interior trim and leather off the of the door to do some more troubleshooting. How to remove the interior portion of these doors?
View 10 RepliesMy wife and I bought a 2002 Passat Wagon 4Motion V6 this fall and we really like the car. It recently got very, very cold here and the drivers door makes a loud unlubricated squeak every time we open it. It has warmed up but the squeak remains. What kind of lube to use on the door hinges? Silicon spray or something else?
View 4 RepliesMy driver's side and passenger side door handles squeak when using them to close or open the door. Its kind of an annoying issue which surprised me due to the quality and fit and finish on the rest of the car. The door handles do NOT make noise when driving the car, only when I grab and squeeze and close or open the door. I will be taking it to my dealer's service centre at my earliest convenience to see if they can remedy the issue.
Here's a short video to show you what I'm experiencing. I am squeezing the door handle a little more aggressively for the purpose of the video but I'm not being rough. [URL]....
My 2012 Ford F350 Super Duty Crew Cab has a squeak in the pillar between the driver and rear door. Or at least that is where it seems to be coming from. It gets better and worse but it's driving me nuts. Any potential fixes?
