Every week wipe with a wet cloth around the doors and the door seals and that should take care of the problem.

My sister in law noticed a "creaking" noise in the passenger door which was alleviated by lowering the window just a little bit. With the window all the way up there was a noticable creak. At the dealer they found SIB 51 02 05 which allowed them to replace all for door seals and gaskets under warranty. The parts for the seal were 51-21-7-057-507 and 508, and the gasket 51-22-7-057-509 and 510. I tried to search for this SIB using the search function but it said that you can't search for items of 3 characters or less. How do you find the details of a SIB?

good to hear that your car is under warranty and can change it for free.
Before the warranty runs out I would get them to change it again cos this nosie will 100% come back.
It is a bug and they will never fix it.
so If the nosie comes back after the warranty use my methered. 100% work and cheep.
