Anyone found a cure for driver's side door squeek?

[paris1]

Just developed a squeek in the hinge area, but because it only makes the noise just as the door is opening or closing, it's difficult to get a fix on exactly what component is causing it. I've lubed all the obvious points, but it just won't go away. Thought maybe someone out there has had the same squeek and better luck than I in finding the cause.

Might it be the rubber weatherseals? Try either some dielectric grease, or spray some silicone spray on a rag and do a quick wipe on the seals.

Turns out the spraying I did musta' needed time to work its way into something. An our later squeek's gone.

What grease did you use on the hinges?

I just got this issue last month on my 2014. Forgot to tell the dealer when I had another issue they were looking at, I'll tell them during my first oil change coming up.

What grease did you use on the hinges?

WD-40 as that's all I had handy. And please don't tell me that's not the best thing to use; I already know that and will try to make sure I have some silicon-based lubricant on hand should it happen again.

Same issue, gone after a spray of muc off bike oil around the hinges.

White Lithium Grease spray is the stuff to use for this. Any brand. Available at Parts Stores and Home Improvement stores everywhere.

Okay, I won't tell you that WD-40 is not the best to use. I'll tell you that silicone isn't the best to use, because white lithium or graphite is.

just noticed my passenger door squeaking. It sounds like it is near the bottom so it is probably the seals on mine, haven't had a chance to put anything on them yet.

Ever tried to get white lithium or graphite to seep into a hinge pin? Neither is the best thing for that.

Ever had water contact silicone spray lube?

White lithium seeps into hinge pins just fine within a few minutes given ambient temps aren't below freezing.
