Window or Door Squeaking - 9/26/2008 2:05:57 PM    erivkin10   Posts: 10 Joined: 2/26/2008 Status: offline I purchased my ''06 EX-L 8 months ago with about 30k miles on it. It now has 35k miles. Lately the doors or windows have been squeaking. It is the best term that comes to mind. It sounds like the door glass or doors themselves are shifting slightly in place against the window or door rubber when riding over irregular pavement or bumps. Sometimes the sounds comes from one door; sometimes several. I have been unable to find a pattern to this but it is very aggravating when they squeak. Any thoughts or suggestions are more than welcome. Thanks for reading the post. _____________________________ Ed 1959 190SL 4 spd 1996 Volvo 850 GLT 5spd 1998 Acura CL 5spd 2001 Odyssey 2006 Accord EXL 5sp Post #: 1

I drove the car today and the noise was there again on the driver side. Focusing a little better, I realized it''s the door glass rubbing against the gasket rubber. "Squeaking noise" is probably not the best way to describe the sound. A few months ago I treated all the door and window rubber with Amorall. I keep them fairly clean as well as the door jambs. Is there a suggested silicone product for dressing Honda door and window rubber. Thanks again for the assistance. _____________________________ Ed 1959 190SL 4 spd 1996 Volvo 850 GLT 5spd 1998 Acura CL 5spd 2001 Odyssey 2006 Accord EXL 5sp (in reply to HondatechAV6) Post #: 4
