In an attempt to get rid of those morning squeaks as the chassis settles in...

I sponged on silicone spray lubricant on all the door seals and think I found the main culprit. The seal on the driver's door that goes to the b-pillar duct/vent squeaks like hell. The passenger side is tight and quiet. How do I get the offending piece out so I can devise a way to tighten it up? I pulled/pried gently but to no avail.

Thanks in advance,

Mark

if you mean just the rubber seal, keep pulling, it's just a friction fit all around.

Actually trying to get the hard plastic out as that is what is moving about.

It appears not to be part of the duct but rather a separate piece.

ok, I think you mean the piece between the 2 doors that has the phone spkr?

If so, pry up the door sill on each side and you'll see a screw which needs to be removed.

You should be able to remove the screws w/o taking the sill pieces completelty out. After that it's just clips. Pull up and out.
