Re: door woes
I've had this squeak for the past 6 months, I finally
had time to hunt it down. I already had the tape and
it does nothing for the squeak I had. I would hear it
whenever the car would lean forward or backward (as in
shifting gears). Finally I found that it was the latch
making the noise. I sprayed some wd40 on the latch (on
the door and where it hooks on the body) and cleaned
it up real good. The squeak went away.. I also
noticed that the door latch no longer swings up by
itself when I push it down(with the door open) and
then pull on the door handle to open it(drivers side
only). All 3 other door latches swing up.
Anyways, the original squeak I had sounded like it was
coming form the top of the door but it was down by the
latch causing my problems.... hope this helps..
