Car doors making noise more now

I lubricated the rubber trim on the doors with cyclo silicone spray and wiped off the excess. Now I think the noise is worse..wtf.Any thoughts or a different product?

^WD-40 degrades natural rubber over time. And it's not really a lubricant. It removes water and dissolves the sticky stuff that makes things seize up.

OP we can't really help without more info. Upload a video nah.

All trim clips secured and not moving/pinching/rubbing?

Like was said above, maybe a short clip/vid might be helpful.

I will double check this and see....I am thinking of spraying it back with it and not wiping it off..only where it drips.

Automotive weather stripping is EPDM rubber or silicone rubber.

WD40 penetrants evaporate to leave behind a film of mineral oil. WD40 not being a lubricant is a popular myth. It's simply not a very effective lubricant.

WD40 works well at treating automotive weather stripping.

Silicone is excellent for treating weather stripping squeak. If the squeak persists after spraying, you may have door panel abrasion from loose fasteners. You can switch to Teflon spray or flocked tape in areas of friction.

Just an update.... where the hard door rubber seal meets at the top, I placed some thin foam tape there as the door had play which was rubbing . I replicated movement by pressing and shaking the door to test it.Did all 4 and its sounding as if I now bought the car. No sound of doors rattling any more. Now this opens up more avenue to attack other rattles.....

I'm thinking it might be weather strip foam adhesive tape

Essentially a foam strip with adhesive on one side.

There are different types of foam, depending on application. You can also use UHMW and flocked tape.
