Cool Anyone else got a creaky door?

I greased the **** out of the 2 hinges and the "rolling" hinge. It sounds like its coming from within the door itself.

Sometimes the ****** bangs when I close it. Sounds annoying and sounds like somethings breaking.

It sounds like the spring on mine...but only my driver's side door does it.

there could be some loose window rails in the door causing the bang

Its that peice o-**** roller hinge. The wifes Z28 driver side door sounds like a hunk a junk when it opens. Very embarrasing. I have tried every frickin lubricant, haven't found one to go the distance yet.....

I had the same problem, see if anything is loose that could be tightened. I lubed up everything still made the horrible noise. I finally took the door skin off and started tightening eveything. sound went away.
