Question squeaking doors

Both of my rear doors kind of squeak or make some sort of noise when there opened and closed...Is anyone else having this problem?

try some Armor All on the hinges. WD40 is good but won't last. Tri Flo is very good, but acts as a magnet for dirt and debris. Armor All stops hinge squeak and doen't wash off as fast. I use it on my screen doors on the house too. Another use for a product I would use my tires.

No no no. Litheum grease.

Get it in there good with your finger, open and shut a few times, clear the excess, fix the problem for a year, shut the tube well and throw it in a drawer.

Thanks Toysrme I went to Advance Auto Parts today and bought a can of Lithium spray (i thought it would be easier and better than the tube). So far it's working pretty good hopefully it stays that way.

Thanks again

If you ever take a car to a dealer, gues what they get out. lithium grease

WD-40 and armoral, or anything slick will work, but it'll wear off so fast you'd take it right back to the dealer. lithium greasee will wear off, but it'll stay on much longer.

Mine make a little noise when the car's been sitting in the sun, I guess now that summer's here I'll have to do something about it. Funny to see this thread, we were just talking about this last night.
