Ranch Hand Posted September 11, 2014 Okay, this seems like a no-brainer, but I can't make it stop. The front door hinges (I think specifically the plastic retainers) on my 2012 NV2500 creak like doors in a haunted house. I've tried cleaning and lubricating them. Like, with WD-40, then Tri-Flow, then Break-Free. No improvement. Has anybody else had this problem? And if so, what did you do to fix it? It's not just annoying, but embarrassing. i hear somebody's truck doors squealing, I assume they don't maintain their vehicle. Thanks! -Ranch Hand Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mc2guy Posted September 11, 2014 Do they squeak when driving or just when opening/shutting? If the latter it is a lubrication issue. WD40 and BreakFree are actually solvents that will dissolve any lubrication and dry out very quickly, they aren't meant to provide lubrication in repetitive use applications. I'd try a lithium grease if you need to spray, or a good bearing grease if you have access to the touch points. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
axulsuv Posted September 19, 2014 It's the retainer strap tensioner inside the the door , Penetrating spray grease works ... At least on mine it did .Glenn 1 Daydreamin520 reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
