noises coming from the doors

Wsup guys every week that passes, a new week awaits with new squeaks to be heard... I was wondering if anybody else has ever heard squeaks from the door hinges/latches when driving... I keep hearing the noises form the doors around where the door closes, and its coming from both sides...I did a little test and drove 5/10mph with my door open and the noise was gone, I then had a friend hold the passenger door open while we drove 5/10 mph and that noise was gone...any ideas? Im deff going to take it in for this, but Im wondering if anybody else has experienced this...I did some research on the forum but couldnt really find anything that would help...Thanks

Sometimes the huge grey plastic triangles by the door striker contact the door. Check that and see if it is the case. Mine rub on occasion and you can see the marks on the plastic.
Remember that the squeak can come from anywhere in the door frame and transmit to anywhere.It may sound like the hinges and be something else!

Better get used to it as the noises are standard Porsche issue. No easy fixes and you will drive yourself nuts trying.

I was just in the dealer with this same problem in my passenger door - and they fixed up - everything is back to being quiet and tight for now.

Those noises are pretty common when the rubber seals around the doors either dry up or if you put any kind of dressing on them, like armor all or detail spray.

The dealer sells a lubricant for those rubber seals that gets rid of those squeaks instantly.

I got it from the local Audi dealership. They normally have it in stock. Works WONDERS on creaky sunroofs and door seals.
