If you scuff up the rubber surface, the problem should go away if it's coming from the seal. And you won't need new seals!

Anyone trying this, recognize this is purposefully scratching the paint.

If anything, maybe I'd use 600 or 400 grit, or a very aggressive compound to 'degloss' the surface a bit...IF I were convinced this was the cause.



Also, in prior models, using a rubber dressing, GummiPfledge as I recall, was another fix for creaking seals
