Those with interior creaks when cold...

I just Armor-All'd my door seals this winter and forgot what a difference this makes. My car sounded like a 20yr old beater when I first pull out of the parking lot in the morning with all the creaks. I've done this before but waited a little longer this winter and forgot just how much of a difference it makes. The sound is the chassis flexing and making the door seals rub on the seals on the door sill causing the noise.

No problem. Just leave your car and the keys with me. This process takes about 2 days.

you can also use 303 aerospace protectant! No need to run out and get armor all just for this purpose. You can also use it on the trunk seal, it'll make it pop up higher rather than just raising 1/4 of a inch.

Are you in Cali? It's hot here almost all year but I think my sweat lubes it for me. Joking I'll give it a go. South Carolina now.
