I found the issue was not the rubber seals, but the felt strip that goes around the top of the door (above the rubber seals). Any movement caused much noise/creaking. Solution: $4.50 stick of dry lub purchased from any hardware store. Run this along the felt strip of all doors. Noise disappeared! Door seal noise – yes fixed.

It will be in the dealership the 4th time to "fix" squeaky door rubbers & the tick-tick-tick noise from B pillars "caused by sunlight" again. The dealership has been helpful & understanding, but let down badly by VW Australia. I have emailed VW Australia, but "no reply" for weeks now. After paying around AUD$50k for a brand new GTI... Do we have to suffer? Any class action due to VW's design fault?? My brand new GTI is 6 motnhs old.

Can was about $25 and it lasted me about 6-12 months.
