Chattering windows

Post by markwm » Thu May 31, 2007 12:27 am

Just like my previous Audi my RS4 has got the chattering/creaking window seal problem.

Anyone of you guys solved it without taking it to the dealer?

So far haven't experienced it but I've only done 1300 miles - when did it start?

Mine hasn't got this fortunately (1 year-old saloon), but I believe the solution is this:

BMW and audi owners with similar issues swear by it. I know that my wife's mini cooper s convertible had a terrible case of squeaky seals which this fixed.

furniture polish is the best imo it has a waxy content which i find is better than silicone,it is particularly good on cabriolet hood seals.
