Continuous problem with rear car doors squeaking

[us3rnotfound]

My rear car doors, no matter how many times i apply lubricant (WD40) to the hinges, keep squeaking after about a week. And it's not a slight "squeak," it's very loud. What do you suggest?

Maybe they're sagging or something?

Year/make/model?

and i dont think they are sagging, doesn't appear to be anyway.. If anything, the front doors would sag after all these years of re opening

Hmmmm....Is it just bothersome because of OCD, or are you trying to be sneaky about the rear doors opening?😛

Try white lithium grease.

Hmm, I'd try smearing some heavy grease on the hinges rather than WD-40. See if that works.

If you took the trouble to read the owner's manual, you'd see the EXACT lubricant to do the job, and WD-40 ain't one of them.

The hinges might be out of alignment (if there are 2). In some cars, one hinge might become slightly bent down, and even though the other one isnt bent, the hinge will grind against itself. If there are 2 hinges, check to see if they are the exact same.

Otherwise, put some heavy lub on the hinge.
