    Squeaking door cards / seals

    Since fitting some new door cards and adjusting the doors and windows, I've had an annoying squeaking when driving along. My best guess would be that it's from the door card rubbing on the seal. Anyone else had this?

    Did you refit all the black rubber pads on the doorcard clips?

        You might find one of them is not seated right. I had the same issue recently was driving me insane.
        Turned out the clip behind the rear card pocket hadn't engaged properly and was rubbing on the metal.

            Cheers, I managed to find the issue on mine. The door and card were rubbing on a slightly angled section about 3-4" from teh base at the rear, so I cleaned it all up and fitted some adhesive foam that I have from the heater box refurbishment. All seems OK now.

            At the same time, I decided to adjust the window a bit... 3 hours later, I was 10 miles away at SteveH's getting a spare motor to replace mine, which decided to go kaput. All sorted now but another 5 min job that went wrong. PITA.

            Cheers to Steve for negotiating a ladder in his 'tired' state and borrowing me a motor

              Glad you got sorted

              I was thinking of marketing my bin liners/duct tape as a kit
