cab/chassis squeak

My 26RSB has a couple of squeaks from the seal between the cab and the camper body. I have spoken to several owners who have the same problem. I have washed it, sprayed it with teflon and WD 40. Has anyone had this problem and actually fixed it?? Would you let the rest of us in on the secret?? Thanks!

Yes, our squeak was directly above and behind the passenger. Sounded like someone rubbbing styofoam pieces together.

We sent ours back to the factory to fix that , along with two other squeaks. Since it was under warranty, BF came all the wya to Nh to pick up and dropped it off when it was done. the only cost was the miles driven on the chasis.

According to Kim, they had to shim some parts.

Ron - if the squeak is above either the driver or passenger head, it is caused by loose bolts attaching the truck and coach bodies. To access the bolt heads, pull back the cloth liner above the top of the doors until you can see the bolts. The bolts can then be tightened using a ratchet with extension. I don't know if there are specs on how much torque for the bolts. I tighten the bolts applying a fair amount of torque. The cloth liner can then be put back.
