Boy, this thread brings back some memories...

On an aging W126, there are a bunch of squeaks and rattles. The majority of squeaks from the doors are caused by the inner door panel plastic rubbing against the plastic sill plates. It is easily remedied by using anti-squeak tape applied to the upper inside corner along the length of the door panel. Basically the full length of where the sill plate fits up into it. Anti-squeak tape is very thin and made out of dense foam, with adhesive backing on one side. I got mine from eBay. After doing this, my door squeaks were reduced about 95 percent!
