WOW! This is an amazing resolution to an annoying problem!!! My BMW tech said "it's normal" on every BMW as they get older. To hell with that! My 12 yrs old Lexus never had a rattle even when I sold it. I've noticed that the noises stops after I wash the car and clean the seals but after so many dirty miles, the noises comes back. I'll try the vaseline on the next car wash. So do you put it on all the rubber seals or just the top seal on the door? And how bad is the dirt collection once this is done? just curious... Thanks for the suggestion though...doesn't take a "BMW" tech to problem solve this issue...

You can disregard the above message.
One week on, the noise has gone and the vaseline has absorbed into the felt and no longer feels like slime. This solution does work, but for me it took 24 hours for the full effect.
