Creaking from vehicle?
When l reverse on to our drive l get a creaking from the vehicle.... l wonder if it's just the rubber door seals.
Anyone else have this?

Only does it in dry weather. I will try some silicone spray on all the rubber parts unless anyone has any other ideas.

90s seem to be prone to creaks. 24MY 90 D250 HSE, Tasman Blue

I chased a creaking sound for weeks. I thought it was the rubber, but after cleaning and applying rubber dressing to literally every rubber part, it was still there. I thought I was going mad.

Ultimately, I ended up finding that it was the two skid plates. They had accumulated a lot of dust between the metal and the sort of felt like material. I cleaned them up and put a bit of wax on them and woohoo...no more creaking. That was my journey anyway. 20MY Defender 110 Fuji White

My 90 HT has creaked from day one. It's spent a lot of time at the dealers and has had numerous pats replaced including the bulkhead but it's still doing it. I didn't have any issues with my 110 but it wasn't a hard to so didn't have as much plastic trim. My next step is to remove all the plastic trim in the back and pack it with foam to see if it that stops it.
