For the last couple of weeks my GT all of 7 weeks old was developing a really annoying creaking emanating from what I thought were the door cards and/or plastic trim around the doors, particularly when driving over undulating or uneven surfaces. Sounded like sailing in an old galleon ship, it was driving me potty ![Mad :mad: :mad:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I finally traced the noise to nothing more innocuous than the inner rubber door seal chaffing against either the outer rubber seal or part of the frame. All it took to stop the blasted creaking was to feed your fingers in between the seals and splay them out a little more. A little silicone lubricant dabbed on or sprayed helps too.
If anyone else has the same symptoms on their Mk7, take a look at the doors seals as it's a simple fix and saves bugging the dealer who'd be tempted to pull apart the doors.
