Is there anyone who has the same annoying thing with the door seals?
They are squeaking when i accelerate, when i brake, if there is a bump in the road... aaargh, it's really driving me crazy...
My car went to the garage for a spring cleaning a few weeks ago. I asked them if there is a solution for that "squeaking" problem. They 've done something, but the result is those seals are squeaking even more :'( ...
Next week my car is going back to the dealer... I hope they find a solution for this very annoying problem...

Is there somebody else with this problem?

I bought a used 2004 (01/04) 530 with the same squeaks. The dealer changed the door seals as a warranty item, and almost eliminated the noises. My Sa told me that the original factory seals often had the noise problem....

Yes, dozens of discussions on door sill issue. My fix was that after every wash, I clean the sills with Lexol Leather cleaner. No squeaking for weeks to months. Others said to use Dawn on the inside of the door frame, but I think its the dirty particles (must clean with more than just water) in the door sills (felts) that is the root of the problem. You'll love your car once the creaking is gone. Guaranteed.
