Lube for tacky door seals?
I think some of the noise I get from the "B" piilar is from the rubbber door gaskets which have gotten tacky from humidity. I tried silicone spray which made it worse. Any recommendations for a lube. I have some general purpose lithium grease. But I would like to try a dry lube. Thanks Tim

BMW has a door seal lube designed for the rubber used.
Not sure if it will work on the TL, but worth a try, just be carefull on the silicone, I have heard that it is not the best for the rubber seals.
It appears that the 5 series of old (prior to the bangle butt version) had this very problem, and BMW in thier wisdom, made a profit on this problem by selling door seal lube.
I understand it is available at BMW dealers nation wide for around $13 and lasts about 6 months, so you can do this when you condition your leather seats.
One more thing to do
