Hi There, Over the last 10 years of ownerhship, I've read all the posts about the rubber door seals needing lubrication in order to eliminate the creaking when going over bumps etc. I used the Shin-Esu grease purchased from Honda, as well as slicone spray. I've concentrated on the rubber on top of the window frames, but have lubed most of the places that contact either metal or other pieces of rubber. I try to avoid any rubber seals that come into contact with the headliner material as to avoid staining the cloth. There was a time that I got most of the creaking eliminated, but over time it always comes back and it has become a chore trying to keep it quiet. Is there a secret or special technique to this process? I don't want to load up too much grease because I carry people around for my business and don't want them staining their clothing. I DO NOT CLEAN THE SURFACES EACH TIME BEFORE APPLYING THE GREASE OR SILICONE. I'm not sure if it's entirely necessary but also extra work. I read somewhere, that a member actually removed the door rubber seal, cleaned the underneath surface and reapplied the moulding back in place. This seems excessive and I'm afraid to take it apart. My car still makes the creaking noise and it seems to be coming from the rear passenger side door area. I hear it mostly over speed bumps and going on and off my driveway. It's driving me crazy and I wish there was a more permanent solution. Do I need to replace the rubber seals with new ones? The rubber does not look dried out and my car is usually garaged. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks all.
