Creaking noises from windows/doors-Resolved

[HenryFord]

2019 GTI- creaking noises coming from all four windows/doors. Started after getting the windows tinted at around 100 miles and is most noticeable when going up angled driveways and speed bumps.

I've already tried Gummi pflege and shin etsu grease to no avail, noises are not suspension related, and the door latches are positioned correctly. Can anyone please give any other advice such as maybe tightening/loosening the windows/doors? Taking the car to the dealership is the last resort. Thank you.

Interested in responses. I can't tell where my noises are from, and I don't know how people decide if it's a door, suspension, etc...
I took it to dealer who said they checked all suspension components and nothing is wrong, but I feel like I hear the sounds most over bumps. There are rattles.... those are different. Makes me NUTS!

I greased all the obvious door seals and I still got that creak.

Turns out at the top of the doors there is a rubber seal, I greased that and it finally went away.

There’s some good info in here:

I had a similar issue. Yesterday I applied gummi pflege to all the rubber seals, including in between the seals along the top of the door. Also applied dry lube to the felt. I used WD-40’s dry lube product. For good measure I cleaned and waxed where the felt contacts the car. Took it for a drive today - no creaks.

Dry silicon spray. Seals and where the door seals meet against door jam

which response resolved the issue?

I used gummi pflege on all things rubber and all the noises disappeared.

I do have to apply it around once a year though, it does come back. I live in a fairly dusty area so the bits of dust and sand do end up sticking onto the rubber (and salt in the winter).
