Hi,
Lately I noticed I get lot of squeaky noise from door panels and also from Gear box area? like when you drive slowly on a bump on road, I get weird sounds in car.
Anyone know what might be causing this.. I recently waxed it, do you think that why doors making noise when driving slowly?

Does it sound like a wooden ship?
If so its your door seals... open your door and on the top theres some black felt... try cleaning it with water and cotten towel. NOT microfiber towel. See if that quiets it down... if not you can have the dealer replace the seals or lube them yourself with silicon spray.

This part of the car. See arrows in the pdf.
here's the real fix to it... have teh dealer replace the seals... but I myself just clean the seals VERY GOOD with water and a white cotten towel and it eliminates the noises but if that doesnt work have the dealer replace the seals...
I just rather them not touch my car, unless really necessary... the less they touch it the less they break...

Yah, unless I see some service light in dashboard, I dont bother contacting dealer. its more pain to wait on phone, explain them, they say its common, u argue etc etc.. not worth it lol

Yes I forgot to say... you probably left wax where the seals close and touch up against the cars frame... clean that part good... get rid of all the wax.
