Door Creak
« 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 ?

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!
