Following reading this post, I used Gummi Pflege several times to clean the seals. The rattle persists though and I think it is the windows (the noise also disappears if I wind them down half way). Does anybody have any suggestion on how to resolve this without spending too much?
Thanks
I found this thread to be helpful as well:

In my case, my car has shadowline trim, as described in the thread. The solution shown has helped reduce my door rattles, though the application needs to be repeated about once a month.

Another thing I think helps (maybe) is: if you apply Gummi Pfledge or other compounds to your seals, leave your doors open for a couple hours after application to let the seals expand a bit. Worth a try at least.
