Default Squeak - 03-14-2007 , 09:02 PM






Hi,

The boot lid of my 9000 (hatch back) squeaks quite badly when I open it
or close it. Tried spraying some oil (WD40) in the hinges but it made
no difference. So I am left with the rubber seals (and given the
loudness it has to be the seals).

Is there any lubricant that can be used on the face of the rubber seals?

Cheers
Charles

Any petroleum product such as vaseline will *rot* real rubber.

Silicone grease would be safe AIUI though.
