Door Panel Noise
 
Has anyone experienced some sort of squeeking noise inside your door panel (driver side)? I hear it when I hit bad roads at slow speed, but not at high speed. I would hate it if I have to open up the door panel for a check to this 1 month old vehicle.

Thanks and please let me know if anyone is experiencing the same thing.

i hear squeaking noise when i rub the break pedal with wet running shoes on.

no joking, but maybe it can be that, are you able to find exactly where on the door that it squeaks?

So far, my doors are fine.. no noise from them

I feel that its coming from inside the door panel, like a plastic rubbing noise. I think something needs to be tighten?

I had this problem. Does it stop if you lower the window a little? (Like 2mm--just so it isn't fully up.) That stopped it for me. I keep the window like that, which is ridiculous to have to do. Like you, though, I fear that having them tear into the door panel will only present other issues when they're done.

Joel, I wish we have good air here in Indonesia. Its full of black smoke, dust and many other stuff :( I know its ridiculous for a 1 month car but well, other than that I am quite happy with this car.

thanks and btw the noise come n go, its no longer there but I am sure I will hear more today. I will just turn the music loud
lol

It's hard to imagine someone claiming worse air than Los Angeles--but I think you're right in this case.

The thing I wanted to point out is that I said 1-2mm for a very specific reason. It doesn't lower the window enough to let air in, but lowers it enough to take torque off of the door frame around the window. When I do that, the noise goes away.

I get a rubbing type noise caused by the top part of the inside door trim flexing against the inside trim where the door tweeter is .. haven't got around to trying some felt between the tweeter housing and the trim... waiting to do that when I get the BSW speaker upgrade (if they ever release IT!!)

BSW speakers will be good do you think?

Not sure... at $649 USD for the entire set of 12 speakers seems reasonable particularly if they are truly plug and play... I haven't heard any bad reports.. would be interested to see a side by side comparison of the stock units vs. the BSW ones in regards to frequency response power handling etc.. this is something BSW appear not to put on their website... rather they focus on the construction e.g silk tweeters.....:confused:

After 6 months use I started to hear plasticky squeeking noises from the rear left door. I have removed everything from the door pockets to test, the noise remained.
It comes when I drive slow on uneven road surfaces. What I tried was forcing the window up with the button, it seems solving the problem, so I think there is something wrong with the window lifting mechanics.
I may visit the dealer and get them check the door inside and tighten screws or whatever is there inside.
Or....maybe I will just visit my car audio guy, he must be better in dismounting doors...and get him to seal the door for sound.
The front doors where he installed speakers for me never produce any noise.
