Default Where does one apply a door seal lubricant (gummi pfledge) to stop the creaking durring frame flex?

Is it on the front end of the rubber lining (located on the car) or on the back end of the same rubber lining, where it makes contact with the metal door frame?

If it is the later do you think a strip of felt stuck to the metal frame where it makes contact with the rubber would be a permanent solution?

Thanks!

I'd say use your wiener as an applicator, and just be sure to get every crevice

Default hahah I haven't gotten my clutch in yet... I'm PRAYING that it comes in by Friday. but also...

I found out that when my clutch was replaced by DUB****S, they didn't put the top 2 bolts on my transmission housing back... so I'm trying to get them through Brian@avalon

Default both, and also hit the rubber seal around the windows.

the latter was where most of my noise was coming from.

You can also try Wurth Rubber Care. Good stuff.

Silicone spray works well too.

Default you prob don't need those, just use a zip tie or whatever. I was also thinking

We don't really need to reatach those hard to get halfshalfts... all wheel drive is nice but you don't really need it, matter of fact you don't even need both your turbos really...
