Squeekie Squalking Doors In Winter !

[DoctorBill]

Every once in a while, in Winter usually, a car door will start squalling

and squeaking when opened or closed.

 

I usually spray oil on the hinges or that horizontal lever (what is it called?)

that keep the door from closing.

 

BUT - Sometimes nothing seems to fix the sound - which is very grating !

 

What causes that noise and how can I fix it.

 

Is it from the Salt they use on the roads ?

 

My Geo Metro looks like it was driven thru the Ocean surf - all white with salt and

it is too cold out to hose it off !

 

I don't want any damage to happen to my nice pretty Pathfinder now that I

fixed the Timing Belt and Exhaust Manifold.

 

Some Jack Off will probably drive into it in the WalMart parking lot and

then leave w/o telling me about it. It happened before!

Usually what ends up squeaking most on mine are the door stop arms. They are about halfway between the hinges, they get dry and rub on the door side.

Well, the easy solution to this is not to shop at Walmart...
