i think he means when you drive off camber and the frame flexes the doors sometimes creak i assume from the doors moving against the rubber seals.
its a creak not sure where its comin from but im goin to armorall the door seals tomorow and ill get back to you tomorow night thanks
Same here. when i am on road no creaking when i go off road it creaks a little but not to bad
I have encountered this plenty
I can almost gaurentee its your door seals. Clean and wipe them off real good and the surfaces where they ride. Once cleaned real well, they need to be treated well with a silicone based lube. Silicone dieletric grease would be great if it were a bit thinner/runnier. My experiance, silicone lube spray sucks for this. The absolute best thing i have found for this is BMW Gummi-Pflege. It is made spicificly for rubber seal treatment but no longer avalible less you get lucky and find some at a stealer or ebay, etc. BMW replaced it with the tiny $40 a tube, Carbaflow. I would try Wurth rubber care stick. http://www.autogeek.net/wurth-rubber-care.html
That should do fine. Any goopy silicone treatment should do ok! Just make sure to clean good and work the treatment all over the seals and folds, etc

The only thing I have noticed is the rear doors need to be closed harder than the fronts in order not to cause wind noise
I just have a bad seal on the front window that wistles like a SOB sometimes. Havent had time to try and get one though.
deff go for a silicone goop/grease/lotion consistancy type product, it last way longer than a spray lube type silicone, and easyer to keep off other stuff.
