Door creaking

[mcg]

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?

I have this issue as well. I have no idea how to stop it.

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.

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.

I’m currently experiencing this issue at 73,000 miles. It is very annoying lol. I came across this product on Amazon: 303 Rubber Seal Protectant for Weatherstripping. It appears to have positive reviews. I’ll report back to see if it actually lasts.

I have experienced this, and it drove me crazy. I finally started shoving my wallet between the door and the frame, the very corner did the trick until I figured it out.

AI was quick to point to the door seal and suggest this stuff.

I applied it as directed, and while it was less, it wasn't quiet. kept applying it every few days, thinking I needed more. For some reason, one day I got out of my car and pushed on the top corner of the door, and I was able to replicate the noise. I was applying it to the wrong place. I was applying to the blue (door seal) I solved the problem when I applied it to the yellow. Mine has been fine for about a month since I applied it to the yellow

Great to know! The stuff I ordered comes in tomorrow, hoping to fix it. Thank you!

I have experienced this creaking on a few vehicles over the years and a tube of silicone grease for has always taken care of it. I try to work it into the door seal and reapply it when the seal looks dry or when/if I hear creaks. I have good luck with Sil-Glyde brand. https://a.co/d/00lUZkSU
