Do you have rattles in the car?

Thanks for that coreying...

Maverick, hate to be a pain as I know you're most likely sick of this subject, but is it OK if I put the krytox on the felt seals?

I'm pretty sure it can't be used on the felt, these should be left as they are.

great, thanks for the info!

I had the creaking too. Now gone. I don't think it is the effect of rubber on paint at all but rather of rubber on rubber. Look at edges of the doors with the rubber trim with felt on outside. On the inside of the felt is a plain rubber channel. When a door is closed you have rubber on rubber which can squeak if it is dry. I applied Krytox to both inside surfaces and voila! All noise gone.

hmm....thanks for that info...will give it a go! waiting for the part to come in...ordered it from VW. I assume what you get from VW is still krytox just repackaged right?

From my reading around the net, I'm pretty sure the VW stuff is krytox repackaged. I got mine vie eBAY-UK packaged as a MG Rover lubricant at a third of the VW cost!

Make sure it doesn't stuff your electrics!

The rear left of my car seem to be full of activity every time I go over speed humps, pot holes and bumps. Sometimes the suspension at the same location will make a distinct thud on rebound after going through irregular road surface and speed humps.

I've pretty much managed to make my car silent now (thanks to Krytox)...with the exception of a rattly glove box (over bumper roads only....and at higher speeds....quiet as when going slow) that I can't seem to quiet down without dismantling.

Anyone know how I can remove the face? I'll check Mav's site in case it's there.

Thanks!

Try lubricating the latches on the rear seat backs. I used lithium grease on the latch and that quieted the torsional creaks and groans.
