My W124 Cabriolet on the whole is in great shape, so much so that little rattles and squeaks are very noticeable in what is quite a quiet cabin for a soft top.
There are a couple of annoying squeaks and rattles that chirp up on uneven roads and potholes which I attempted to deal with using Wurth's Rubber Care Gel Stick around the rubber seals around the roof a couple of weeks ago, and have not seen much of an improvement.
Today though, driving the car through the rain, I noticed that it was as quiet as a tomb and it got me thinking, what should I have done? Obviously, the water is lubricating the bits that are rubbing together.
Funny thing, when I had the top down the other day, I could still hear the chirping squeaks which means the noise is not coming from the roof. I also opened the passenger door as I was driving and could still hear it.
Am I missing something as it is driving me nuts?
