My borther just purchased a used 2001 Jetta GLX. The car is very nice for the exception that the door seals make noise over every bump. This car has the sport suspension on it and I'm asuming that the body twists ever so slightly causing the rubber seals to make noise. Has anyone else experienced this? How's the best way to remedy it?
Please email me at [email protected] as I don't get to read this group much.
Thanks,

apply tire dressing to all the seals, that should do it. Use black magic or tire wet

Are you sure it's the window? The door seal noise often sounds like it's coming from the window seal, but once you lubricate the door seal, it goes away. I use food-grade silicone spray for my door seals.

felt tape around the door frame where the seal makes contact.

Will putting the felt tape in place prevent the door from sealing weather tight such that water may now get into the interior?

Armor-all works great
