Creaking door/poor door seals

God's Gift
Has anyone got the dealership to replace the shitty seals around all the doors. My gfs 08 rabbit seals are so much better, the door doesn't creak when you press in on it. I've done the irrigation tubing and it's helped somewhat, but for such a new car this shouldn't be the case. I doubt theywwould do anything for me, but I wanted to know if anyone has got this problem resolved by taking it the dealer.

I have taken my two door to the dealer, but they didn't do much more than replace the existing tubing with a brand new version. Same exact tubing same exact noise.

Every month or so I polish the body of car(where window weather strip strikes) with Wolfgang Paint Sealant 3.0. The sealant leaves the paint ultra slick and the doors are ultra quiet.

1.I put one long strip of tape inside of the arch to make contact with door rubber.

2.As for the B pillar one vertical strip and two on each door. After that.. no more noise in the cabin coming from that section-visually speaking: it blends good on the color of my car "CSG", not brutally noticeable on any other color either.

Hope this helps!

See crappy pics now.

It would be nice to get rid of the creaking but that tape looks awful.

It is proven, not fantastically appealing to the eye, but very effective I have no noise. This tape is been on the car for more than 1 year now,it can be easily replaced to look better.:thumbsup:

Youre right so its basically a choice between aesthetic appeal and noise.

My door creaks but im not sure if its to the extent that ill have to tape up my doors.

You can get cheap UHMW clear non-squeak tape from zoro tools. Works good.
Don't need to go near ECS and their crazy prices and get black tape.
Einszett gummi pfledge works well too.
