I've had a noisy ass rear swinging door on my disco I. I've loosened hinges, moved them and fooled around with the latch and still the problem remained. I am not sure if this is a well known solution, or how long it works. But I had a friend over while i was cleaning the rear cargo space and I mentioned that the rear door always seemed to be rattling and squeaking like it wasn't shut all the way. He told me to go get a plastic glove and some vaseline. I thought he was kidding but i did it anyway, and I applied a thin layer of vaseline all around the weather stripping/sealer. Gave the door a firm slam shut and i have heard no sound whatsoever from the door. I've went over railroad tracks, hit potholes, and many other things and the door does not make a damn sound. I dont know if anyone else experiences this problem, but the problem is completely gone so far. Knock on wood....
Let me know if this works for anyone else.

yep it worked for me once, and never any noise again either.
