Default Creaks, squeaks and silicone spray.

Is silicone spray the right stuff for those interior squeaks and creaks generated (mostly, I think) by plastic trim. Will it minimise these noises or make them worse. Has anyone used them with good or otherwise results.
Thanks.

Silicone spray will only hide the squeaks temporarily.
My dealer uses silicone spray whenever I moan about the squeaking windows - within 3 days the noise is back.

Default Use felt pads for plastic-on-plastic squeaks. Avoid silicone spray as it will dry out your seals.

I've ordered from carcareonline twice and had great results.

Default Try self adhering Felt - you can get it a multitude of colors...

use it around the rear plastic trim that comes up against the window (coupe). I did this and all is now swell.
