mkxdad Report post Posted January 24 Recently the driver door is harder to open. No ajar light, didn't hear anything break... simply have to pull harder to open. Looking for advice before I squirt silicone or lithium grease into it. Thanks in advance! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
enigma-2 Report post Posted January 26 Do you mean "harder" as in binding? Or that it's catching during opening (such as the weatherstripping sticking?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mkxdad Report post Posted January 26 Harder to pull open... not catching or clicking or snagging on anything. Like twice as hard to pull open as normal and the door wasn't hit or damaged. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NOTMY911 Report post Posted January 26 I would start with spraying the hinges. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
enigma-2 Report post Posted January 27 I would agree with NOTMY about spraying a lube. I had a similar problem years ago. It was the plastic door strap. Had become dry and crud encased. Plastic strap sliding into a plastic guide. It also was warped. Cleaned it with solvent, lubed, and run in and out until it freed up. I'd be tempted to use a penetrating oil on the hinges.
