Hey guys,
I've been having problem with this crazy annoying squeaks, especially during summer time.
The car has been washed, waxed, in great condition, yet the sound still remained after putting gummi pfledge several times.
I thought about changing the door seals on all 4 doors, as it was hella annoying whenever moving upto driveway (slight uphill) or the chassis twists a little.
Well, I guess many of you guys on the forum are aware, but this really is for those new members trying to figure out how to solve this problem.
I always thought the squeak was coming from the contact between the door rubber seal and the chassis rubber seal.
It's NOT! The squeak comes from our
M3's Black Shadowline Trim & our door rubber seal.
This is the reason why people with M cars or M sport pack, basically with
Black Shadowline Trim, always have this squeak problem. The ones with OEM chrome trim do not seem to suffer from squeak.
Here's a simple guideline. Clean with Vinylex on the black shadowline trim, and Gummi Pflege on door seals, especially where it meets those black shadowline trim.
I was stupid, for the past yr, putting gummi pflege on different areas of door seal and expecting resolving the problem...
After simple treatment last night, squeak is completely gone!
Now I'm one happy man
