Some customers may complain that they hear squeaking noises coming from the doorframe area when driving.
CAUSE
The movement between the mating surface of the flock covered (felt like material) door seal and the outer roof panel produces a squeaking noise.
PROCEDURE

Then apply Carbaflo to the flock covering on all four door seals. No further treatment is necessary after this application (such as drying, polishing the roof, etc.).
