Creaky Front Windows

[Guest gs fan]

The C5 is generally rattle and squeak free and a quiet runner.

The only annoying thing on mine has been the creaking sound from the front windows , not when they're being used but when going over ruts /uneven surfaces ..like most town streets. The odd thing is that they'd be dead quite during dry weather , then a shower of rain and back to the annoying creaking sound . I've seen this problem mentioned in many articles re'the C5 . I tried lots of things to stop the creaking but no joy till I sprayed the area where the window seals ,and the area where the door seals with Turtle Wax , Wax it Wet, brilliant !!! total silence !!!

Just open the window spray the seal area and rub off excess , then spray all over the area that seals the door and enjoy a creak free ride

Hi. Can I ask you some questions now that it's been a while since you posted?

 

1) How durable has this solution been?

2) I live in NZ and was trying to identify the product you are referring to. I couldn't see 'Wax it Wet', but I saw '1-Step Wax & Dry'. Would that one be ok? The list of Turtle Wax products in Australasia can be found here: http://www.turtlewax.com.au/

3) From what I understood you opened the window and sprayed the window 'frame' so to speak, and also the door seal?

4) Has anyone else found other solutions or products?

 

Many thanks from downunder :D

Its great I do it once a month . I looked at the NZ Turtle Wax site and I'm guessing that 1 step Wax and Dry might be the nearest thing to our Wax it wet . Wax it wet looks like water and has a faint smell of parafin . Hope this helps with the creaking windows !!

Brilliant result! I only did the door seal and got rid of 95% of the noise. No mess and only 15 bucks!

Great ... One of my mates swears by a little smear of Waxoil along the edge of the window , reckons that this keeps them quiter longer.
