I know it is getting cold but my passenger side doors and creaking and rattling like buggers since last weekend.

Anyone else experiencing the problem ??

Lol, give the door and boot rubber seals a good wipe with some silicone spray

Yep got this too - drivers door seems to be the worst. The engine (143) is noticeably louder on a cold start up too aka Perkins style!

Rubber friendly silicone spray,wipe all rubbers, 4 doors,boot, window rubbers..... Spray your locks and latches with white grease

Remember the interior trim will have expanded or contracted so until it reaches ambient range it effectively doesn't fit properly, hence squeeks and rattles

It's so cold and dry even my windscreen sqeeks and creeks til it's warmed up
