rtbiscuit Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 check the pin hasn't come loose in the hinge. i had it happen on my old civic. just pop it back in. requires a bit of manhandling on the door, and some force to put it in, but u should be able to see where the issue is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manc350z Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 I get a clicking from the black plastic tie that connects the door to the "A" pillar to stop the door swinging open and hitting the wing !.. i need to grease it up i think giggity... worth checking as well as the loose pin .

matth76 Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 I get the same clicking/creaky noise too on my driver door. Don't get it on the passenger door. Nothing is loose. I was thinking of maybe spraying some oil wd40 on the hinges at the weekend and seeing if that helps. Unless anyone has solved this before with something else?

BulletMagnet Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Usually happens when over time, you always open the door fully open and leave it there. Over tme the weight of the door will cause pressure on the hinge and then start creaking. Well I think so anyway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greekman Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Got the same problem....only when its freezing tho... Tried silicone spray but didnt do much...and i think the door pins are getting a bit rusty as well.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matth76 Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 My car is only 3.5 yrs old and creaks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matth76 Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Just checked and I can see the noise is indeed coming from the black plastic bit where there is a small nut in the middle of, actually on the car itself where the door hinge attaches to the body - the black plastic keeps slipping slightly side to side when the door is opened (if you open up the door you will see it towards the top). I was thinking about simply tightening the nut up to see if that helps. May try when a bit lighter. It may not work as there is no way for me to get behind the metal in case there is another nut on the other side which I'd have to hold while tightening. I'll see.
