Fixing creaking door seals

From reading this thread there seems to be two issues. The B pillar clicking and the door seal creaking. The door seal creaking drove me insane on my GTI MkVI and I was also very disappointed that such an expensive German car would have this fault.

I tried Dupont Krytox, it works for a month then needs (a very messy) top up. Don't bother with it. I bought Gummi Pflege (from WaxIt, Melb) and after 3 applications on all door seals right around the car, no more creaking from any of them!! The car is blissfully silent and it has lasted 4 months now.

I have also finally been able to polish out my messy door frames and this didn't make the creaking in the rubbers return. Hope the fix works for those of you with the creaking door seals. Don't be sucked into buying Krytox from VW at $70 a tube - it will cost you that much every quarter.....

mine does this as well. Never thought much of it because it will generally only do it when going up a fairly steep driveway/doing crazy angles so it won't scrape...
