General Noisy interior 500X

[Amer]

Hi guys,
This is my first time to post here so be gentle!
I just got a 2016- 500X Lounge (I think); overall I love the car's interior with one exception: There is a very annoying squeaking noise that seems to be coming from the doors, or probably the roof or both.
This sound is more obvious when I am driving on a any bumpy road off course, and since I am living in Egypt, most of the roads are bumpy

Has anyone had this issue before.

Thx

If it's the doors then it's most likely to be the car door on one of the rubber door seals.

If you have some stuff that you can put on tyres to make them all black and glossy after you wash the car, try some of this on the rubber seal. It's slightly oily so will help the seal to cope with some movement in the door.

The roof squeaking could be the same. Open the roof, find the rubber seal and just lubricate it with the tyre-shine stuff. The roof glass (?) will get oily but you can clean that after a day or two.

Mine does this. Mine was a crashed car which I repaired. Unfortunately the bodyshop used the original cassette and swapped over the loom when they painted the new doors and it still does it. This means that I can confirm it’s not the door itself but the cassette. It does it pretty much constantly. I will at some point take the door card off and see if I can figure out what’s causing it. It’s not the door card as I drove it to the bodyshop with the door card off so definitely the cassette.
