Ahh yes, good observation; it does not happen during straight, smooth movement. When I’m cruising with nary a bump I experience moments of joy thinking that whatever is loose in my very-expensive beast has been jostled back into place, but when I make a stiff turn or hit the slightest of bumps I return to reality. (A metaphor for life?!!)

 

A very thin application of silicone oil to the door seal, especially between the seal and the inner edge of the door, completely cured the rustling/creaking. There may also be other products that work too, but I've only tried silicone oil. If that is the problem then pressing firmly on the upper edge of the door when closed should cause the same creaking noise.

 

Any hypotheses from you experienced rovers what might cause a jangling almost creaking or rattling sound only from the rear when hitting bumps or turning corners? I have a service appointment set up, but have been tearing my hair out in the interim trying to locate it on my own. It's a new vehicle and it did not occur during the test drive.

 

Any of these:

Oups, let me check those out! My "rattling" thread search wasn't on point.

Thanks again

 

Thanks, dealer applied some type of silicone but that didn't seem to help. It is pretty tacky to the touch. I just received an order of Gummi Pflege Stift which worked on my BMW years ago. I will apply today or tomorrow and report back.

 

Silicone oil should be the complete opposite of tacky - it's a lubricant.

 

You would think. I am not clear on what they used.

 

I'm curious to hear if the Gummi Pflege Stift works too - I bought some after using the silicone but haven't needed it (yet).

 

From my first post above:

Back in the 90's a Honda dealer gave me a tube of silicone grease that would stop the rubber gasket on a huge sunroof from creaking. After some searching I did find it is still available. It's called Honda Shin-Etsu Grease 08798-9013. I ordered some from Amazon and applied it to the many sides of the many door gaskets. All is quiet for now, but I'm sure this will be an ongoing task to keep the gaskets quiet.
