[QUOTE="SpencerE60, post: 197330, member: 5025"] Thanks KL2DC for the infos. I applied carbaflo to all the rubber linings of all doors last night. It sure freshens up and conditions all the rubbers well. Worth the buck! Unfortunately, there still creeking noices coming from the windows this morning but not that loud anymore. At least it helps out. I think KL2DC is right, it's the door latch that causes the flexing that developes the movement thus causing the noises on the doors. I just remembered that there's a similar problem (creaking noice) on the back door of my wife's Toyota Estima months back, I send it to an accessory shop and they just wrap the door metal latch with black rubber duct/cable tape and Poof! the noices dissappears till now....no more problem. I think that's the culprit but no proof yet. I think it might be the culprit since the doors are as weighty as my bimmer's. I'll try with one door first this evening and see what happens. (cant try now, my bimmers at the workshop for servicing). Will keep you guys updated on my experiment. Thanks again KL2DC for reminding me of the "Door latch" thing! The last culprit that never came to my mind last time on my wife's car! [/QUOTE]
