Default How are the door seals? Any noises?

Have a 2015. Keep hearing a ticking sound from the driver side window/door area. I'm thinking its the door seals rubbing against each other. Was lightly tapping on the pillars and hear nothing. Rubbed my fingers on the door seals and it makes that sound. Is it because of the doors are moving/shifting as the car is in motion causing the seals to rub?

Silicone di-electric grease. It's used for spark plug boots but, also recommended for weatherstrip to keep from cracking and drying out. I've used it for years on my cars.

Make sure it's not your seat belt clicking against the wood or the window frame.

Wurth Rubber Care works well. Use it once or twice a year on the seals and it will eliminate any seal squeaking.

Make sure it isn't the grab handles above your head. I've had those replaced due to ticking sound when driving on rough roads.

I had the seals sqeaking too, when driving on an uneven surface or any other way that cause the body to flex a bit the seals were rubbing and sqeaking.
This is what I used to get rid of it.

I can hear it coming from behind my ear by the pillar area.

I was hoping it wasn't body flex. I guess one hears everything in such a quiet car. Stuff that I didnt notice in prior cars or other cars.

Here is what you need to do.


I did on my 2015 Gs350 F Sport. It's a game changer for sure
