So basically just lubricating the left frontal window weather strip solved the problem.

Just to confirm... does that mean that they just lubricated the rubber strips that hold the glass in place (front, top and rear of glass window panel) when the glass is wound up?

What kind of noise were you hearing?

Many thanks.

Very nice car with the chrome side mirror. Stinger is in my list too, maybe will have a look at the facelifted model 2021.

Oooo... the dark blue car I see doesn't have silver mirrors...

All stinger if I am not wrong is chrome mirror default. Mine is chrome... Is just the reflection...  Dun think there is after market mirror except carbon fibre.

Hey sorry for the late reply.

 

Yea they just lubricated the rupper trips if I'm not wrong. What was stated on the sheet was the weather strip which was lubricated. Probably the same.

 

The noise was like a pulling creak each time the car flexed, noticed the sound went away when I drove with the window not fully closed. That helped in the problem solving.

Yes, thank you. Think I hear this when going down ramps. Will try the lubrication.

Several months ago -- on door rubber weather strips -- I used silicone oil. Something like this -- https://www.lazada.sg/products/3pcs-100-silicone-oil-treadmill-belt-lubricant-running-machine-i329732518.html.

I just asked C&C to sort it out. A 6 month old car shouldn't be making such noises. I'm sure any lubricating mixture especially for rubber would help. Just glad it's not like a door panel problem which would mean more work.

Just some info for those who might be facing a similar problem. The cause of the creaking, croaking noises that seemed to come from my door panel -- especially when going up or down ramps -- was the rubber seal that runs around the periphery of the inside aspect of the door. Lubricating this seal eliminated those noises completely. I had previously lubricated the rubber seals that held the glass window in place and the seal that runs around the door opening... but that did not eliminate the noise.

That time there was 1 red Stinger (direct owner) selling during CB... but he eventually sell to dealer and that car was sold by dealer already.

2021 Kia Stinger Facelift with all new 2.5L engine with 305hp. 

Looks nice... but I think C&C die die want follow MAS rule of % downpayment. Otherwise, I think Stinger can be sold to more buyers.
