I have searched the form for this and surprised no one else has this issue. My issue appears to be a creak/squeak that happens from all doors when the car goes over an uneven surface, at low speed. Like driving out of the driveway and going down to road level. When the car flexes the noise happens. I can create the noise by pushing up on the top side of the drivers door when the car is parked. The closest thing I can find is this from the F150 forum, https://www.f150lightningforum.com/...one-else-have-door-rubbing-when-driving.22888 . I have tried silicone lubricant on the rubber seals and it will fix it for a short time, but comes back. Anyone have a permanent fix? Do the doors need to close tighter?

Adding some audio of the noise. One is manually pushing the drivers door slightly up and the other is causing the car to flex out of the driveway. The noise comes from more than the drivers door.

I've had this issue since day 1. The dealer said they couldn't hear anything. Perhaps their techs have been to too many gigs and rock concerts. I can hear it plainly even over my tinnitis. :rolleyes:

Wipe (don’t spray it and get any on your windows) some silicone spray lube on your door seals. If it gets rid of the noise you can get some better grease for the seals like this:

The spray doesn't last long at all. Maybe the lube will.

well it was just to see if the seals are the source of the noise. Definitely use the grease if it is.

Oh the seals are the noise. I have no doubts. I have used silicon spray and it works for a week maybe.
