Default Door Chattering Noise...?

Hello, I just recently got a 2026 defender 110 and I can't help but notice on certain roads or pavement. My driver's door seems to have a chattering sound coming from the glass area or frame, I tried pressing and holding different spots like grab handle, etc., and the sound is not coming from there so leads me to believe it is possibly coming from the weatherstripping or what not. Also, I am located in South Florida so we do have high heat here if that matters? just wondering if anybody else has experienced this,, again this does not happen on all all pavement. Any advise / input highly appreciated. Thank you in advance!

I'm also in South Florida and have a similar issue on my 2025. I brought it LR Ft Lauderdale and they used a "dry lubricant" on the door seals. It is better, but not 100% gone.

thx for the advice! I just ordered this and will have it tomorrow. Hopefully it will help. It is also a cleaner/lubricant.

Honda Shin-Etsu grease works too. I still have the same tube a Honda dealer gave me years ago to stop my rubber sunroof seals from making that rattling noise. Also helps to clean the rubber door seals with rubbing alcohol before applying.

I noticed the same thing the other morning. I rolled the window down lightly the back up. It went away, for now.

I get that occasionally. Used to get it on the sunroof seal of the Jag as it got older too
I used a product called SilGlide. It's a silicone lubricant and allows the rubber seals to move around without getting stuck on the frame. Use it very lightly so it doesn't attract a lot of dust
I've not tried the dry lubricant but similar idea I guess
