Cool

Hi guys. Just got a message from my dealer that the "permanent solution" for the squeeking doors is here. They said one should apply a fluid called Carbaflo KSP 105 to the seals of the doors to get rid of the noice. You can find info on the website www.carbaflo.com. By the look of the description on their website it certainly sound like it could be something for us to get rid of the noice in the doors and even other type of squeeking noice. Mine seems to be working fine now after I applied it. Good luck!

There isn't any on the tube but you should do just fine by giving them the Carbaflo KSP 105 name. The dealer should be able to find it for you.

They told me to firsty clean the the seals with a Silicone Removal liquid and let it dry, then apply the Carbaflo. The tube you get have a small spunge at the exit (kind of like an ordinary silicone tube you use for door seals) so it was very easy to apply. I tried to be as thorough as possible without apllying too much.
