Interesting, never recall hearing mine creak. Have to check it out.

Oh yeah they creak Does any one here have the instructions on how to disassemble them handles? I have never heard of Silicone Powder, is this a new product? I know of silicone grease, but I would not want to use that inside the car if I can help it.

I just pulled up on the handle and it popped off.

Here is what i used:

Thanks for the tip, that will be my nuber one project when I receive the car. FIngers crossed that it will be little things like that and not main components. My concerns, Engine, Tranny, Electrics, and Air Compressor for the Air Suspension!

Wow!

It's amazing how easy it was to cure those creaky door handles on my LR3 with a little silicone. All four in 10 minutes! I asked the dealer about the noise several times in the past and they never suggested a fix, they just said it was normal. The doors and vehicle actually "feel" rock solid now!

Any tricks on how to apply silicone?

I just used a Silicone Spray Lubricant, such as this...

I sprayed some into the cap and used a q-tip to wipe it around the inside edges of the 2-piece door handles. (top & bottom)

now, if only...

I could figure out a way to silence the back end of mine! Holy jeebus, I have more rattles and noises coming out of the 3rd row seat area. I feel like i have tried everything imaginable to locate and diagnose...other than super gluing everything down.

For reference, I have a 2008 HSE Lux and drive with the 3rd row seats folded closed with Weathertech matt over them.

I know, old post, but it still applies. I picked up an '08 LR3 recently and the creaky door handles were driving me crazy!! Not only are the handles plastic, but they creak like hell. Should have at least been made out of aluminum (aluminium?!) I searched the web for 'creaky door handle on LR3' and found this thread. Thanks to this forum and thread, I figured out how to take apart the plastic handle and cured the creakiness. I tried some silicone at first, but it still creaked a bit, so I lubed up both pieces at the contact points with petroleum jelly - now there is absolutely no creaking at all! Thanks RWO!

I coat the whole truck in spray silicone every two-three months - get's 95% of the creaks and rattles, especially the tailgate. Use it liberally and wipe off excess. Makes those black plastic parts shiney too. Thanks to this forum for this solution.
