Squeaking sound when going over bumps
Any 3G owners have squeaky window moldings? Every time I go slowly over speed bumps or ramps there's a squeaking sound from the driver side.
I used to think it was metal/frame stretching but it seems to go away if I roll down the driver side window, which makes me think it's the rubber window molding.
It's driving me nuts and makes the car feel poorly built, and seems like something that Acura warranty wouldn't cover

i used to have a slight squeak but it was temperature dependant. when it was really cold it would squeak but as it heated up then it would get quiet. my thinking was that the rubber becomes hard when its cold causing it to squeak. i never did anything to fix it, but if u put some lube on the area u think the squeak is coming from it may help out the problem. just a guess

Only one like that (going over bumps) I had was from the RSB Bushings.
Changed bushings (from Energy Suspension (red) poly to Progress supplied) and it went away. Haven't heard it since.

Just to update - the squeaking went away after the dealer "lubricated the chassis" as part of a routine oil change. Dunno if that means spraying WD-40 on the hinges, but the car is quiet as a mouse over bumps now (and hopefully will stay that way )
