    Mine also creaks over driveways etc. I will ask VW to do the crayon method.

    We get this too.... dealer lubed the seals as others have described and it settled for a few weeks before coming back. Interesting that our Jetta based on similar architecture has never had this problem over the same inclines.

    I've not been impressed with the lack of door 'rigidity' on either my 3-door GTI or the R36 sedan.

    Yes, the lubrication of the seals does get rid of the noise, but why does it happen in the first place?

    No other car I've had, whether 2-door or 4 door has had this amount of flex.
