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. |
