Hi,

I just picked up my E90 and drove 300 miles last night to Glasgow.

Once I'd arrived and turned the music down a wee bit, I heard a squeaking noise when going over the roads at low speeds from both drivers side and passengers side.

This morning on my way to work, noise is still there.

Any idea what this could be?

Thanks

If the noise is from the door seals try Gummi Pflege rubber treatment.Its not expensive so worth a try.

Silly question.. are the door seals the rubber bits around the edge of the door, or the door frame (the car body)

[macck]

I've an e92 I only have seal-around the car body door frame if that makes sense.Someone may have sprayed like a silicon spray on the rubbers to may they nice and clean shiny but this can lead to squeaks.

[tom619]

Right I will check the doors when I leave work, there should only be a rubber seal around the car body door frame not around the actual door itself yes?

[macck]

Yes

[tom619]

Magic, will let you know how i get on

[tom619]

Confused..

I have rubber door seals around the door frame and around the door itself??

Just went and bought some auto glym vinyl and rubber care if someone can tell me how to use it

Not to insult you good sir but Gummi Pflege (meaning rubber care in German) is not a brand it is manufactured by Einszett
Secondly, Einszett Gummi Pflege is no longer used by some dealers because it contains silicone and it looks good initially but dries out the rubber.
Thirdly, try this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Wurth-Rubber...th+rubber+care it is silicone free and the stuff lasts! You need only apply it every six months if you want but once minimum for winter preparation.

This is the stuff I use and it states silicone free. And it served me well over the past 4 years.

vaseline would work I think...

[tom619]

I tried the auto glym stuff last night, seems to have worked but i only applied to the main doors, not the boot or bonnet lid.

Is it also worth applying there?

[Jules59]

This stuff works


Carboflo KSP 105 aerosol from Fuchs.

I bought 2 cans from Ebay - stops my door creaks.

Interestingly my BMW is the only car Ive ever had this problem with - another BMW design fault. Some underlying issue in German design philosophy I think- they dont believe in KISS.

[tom619]

So the auto glym stuff works for a bout a day then the squeaks come back

Should I now try the Carboflo or the Gummi stuff?

[tom619]

Can someone just clear something up for me.. What is the difference between the door seals and the door rubbers and also what is this felt that I've seen mentioned a few times in similar posts?
