driver's side door creek

[MoonPie]

Drive's side door has begun creeking when I'm opening and closing the door. I've narrowed it down to the top door hinge. Just some WD40?

I would prefer you either used some chain and gear lube (auto parts store) or bicycle chan lube (bicycle store) or use some actual moly grease.

WD40 does not lubricate for long, if at all.

Basically I would start with some liquid wrench chain lube. or you could just brush some motor oil on there. (yes really)

For sure, WD40 is not a solution. Everything you mentioned is better than WD40, I personally use some Valvoline synthetic general purpose automotive grease for things like this.

Yes... giant misconception...!!! Wd40 is for water displacement, not lubrication.

Yup. Hence the name. "Water Displacement, 40th formula attempt", shortened to WD40.

But if you have a creek in your door, I think you have bigger problems. I'd suggest checking ALL of your seals before it turns into a brook or a river.

It's most likely the door catch. Mine was replaced under warranty. I didn't even know it was doing it. Tech noticed and just changed it.

Well, I can have the door open and swing it back and forth without closing to get the creeking sound.

White lithium grease. Spray can for $3 in auto parts store.

PB Blaster has always worked for me.

Just found the right bit and tightened it, was just loose.
