Title: Door Creak
Post by: omega3000 on 14 September 2012, 09:09:31
Last week i replaced the plastic bush to stop the door from creaking and cracking , all has been well since yesterday and its started to creak again  :( i didnt grease it as was advised not to , surely it hasnt broken already  :-\ Is there any other bits to replace apart from the bush ?

Check the mech itself is tight

Yes mechanism itself often benefits from attackingwith file and sandpaper and the liberal greasing. It is easier if removed from the car.

It does seem a bit loose , its only creaking a bit when the door is being opened/not closed but not the cracking that i had before i replaced the bush ..

Dont mean to teach you to suck eggs old chap but did you tighten it properly? I didnt on the first attempt and it sounded like the door was ripped off!
