Creaking window

[Blair780]

I had this problem about a year ago. X was only six months ol and I was sure it was something more serious. Turns out they put some type of film around the upper door openings on the body of the car where the felt of the door frame rubs and it completely went away. It's been over a year trouble-free.

Thanks. If and/or when my "E70 driver's seat repair kit" comes in, and I have a service appt., I will show this to my Advisor. It really shocked and pissed me off, how bad it creaked...and it happened all of a sudden, no easing in. Just, BAM! Ohhhh, BMW!!!

Over the weekend, I rubbed a very small amount of German 'Gummi-Pflege" cream/grease all around the tubular, black weather stripping/moulding that surrounds the driver door frame and also the mouliding that is physically attached to the driver door.

NO more creaking. I mean ZERO!!! All that's left is the driver's creaking seat...and my 35d is back to flawless.

I may be wrong but actual "Gummi-Pflege" was discontinued years ago. Maybe it came back, or another company re-launched another product. My tube, I've had since about 2004. A little goes a long way!
