Its actually the rubber seal that is old and haggard. What i did was gotten some rubber grease and rub it all over. something like KY jelly ya... You can conveniently get it off any hardware store... :)

I would like to hijack this thread....

When I turn my steering wheel, I hear sounds....like nyiuk nyiuk sound...

Anyone have solution?

 

[craziechild]

try to lubricate the joins of the steering rod with WD-40... it might help.... jus my opinion though...

 

[craziechild]

my trunk cover de sound solved... tried applyin WD-40 on the latch but it didnt work... so went on to tighten all the screws involved to the trunk cover... then the sound dissapeared...

 

[jaywat]
