My door would occasionally make a terrible chirping noise while under way, maybe from road conditions or wind or crickets, but could last for hours. A friend had told me he added teflon washer to an earlier moho so I opened mine to examine the guts. Shaking the inner assembly, I easily/heard saw the upper dead blot knob has a sloppy fit and could use a teflon washer just behind the knob. Not having a washer on hand but thinking teflon is teflon I grabbed the teflon pipe thread tape and tightly wrapped it around the stem filling the gap behind the knob, maybe 10 wraps. I also put some silicone grease into the deadbolt "track" or guide way and reassembled.
I think I fixed it. The 3 hour drive back home was MUCH quieter.
