[QUOTE="Stranger, post: 63175, member: 492"] The new seals apparently solve the issue. Quite a number of owners have reported that, worldwide. As for the lotion, I meant to apply them to the felt material at the top of the door frame. This part touches the car body when the door is closed and the rubbing causes the annoying noise. It's very interesting that by lowering the window by just a couple of mm, there won't be any problem. So I can only guess the panel somehow exerts inwards force when fully closed and causes the felt to come into contact too much with the body frame. The lotion trick worked for me (been many many months without the noise); so I will monitor before I bug them to change. [/QUOTE]
