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.

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.
