Go to the Girls on Cars thread in the off topic section and post some pictures of girls on cars.

 

Keep on posting!

 

I know I was just kidding, post count +1, cha ching!

 

Well another two to go!

 

I don't know any girls that I like enough to sit on my car, if you want to donate your car for that I will see what I can drum up.

 

And finally number 10, I'd like to thank everyone for all of your support in getting me to this point in my forum career!!!

Now bring on that door diagram.

 

Hey Gus,

When are you going to open up my account so I can see this diagram?

Cope

 

Let me see what I can do!

 

Got it!

Thanks Gus, your a Rockstar!!

 

Well I attempted to tighten that #6 bolt and it wouldn't even budge so I guess that isn't the same problem everyone else was having. Anyone else have any suggestions?

 

If the lubrication does not fix it then check the door hinges and see if they are tight. I have seen on a few older cars when neglected (never lubricated) can develop flat spots on the door pin. Let me ask if your window drops when you open the door and return when you close the door?

 

Yes the windows does open and close when I use the door.

 

Good then it is not the window causing it.

 

may be time to see your dealer, drop by to say hi, tell the service guy you just bought this car, and were trying to find the best place for maintenance in the future. While in discussion about how you like your car, mention 'that damn door creaking noise' and see if he volunteers to take a look. That'll be a freebie, guaranteed.

 

OK have the same problem on a 2001 XKR 50K miles drivers side door, pops when closing at 3/4 and 1/4 closed. It was the #6 bolt 10mm small socket just tighten it up and greased all the hinges just to be safe. Noise fixed. You have to love this forum

 

This exchange of information saved me a trip to the mechanic!
Thanx
bob

 

Good to know!

 

As a Junior member myself, I posed the question some time ago about the hinges, along with a few other questions, and rec'd a number of responses. You'll find the forum to be very informative and obviously a "money saver" as you stated.

 

Apologies for bumping this ancient thread, but I've tried all the suggested remedies above, tightening all the bolts I can find on the stay, but to no avail. I even cleaned the whole area using compressed air and then regreased. If anything, the popping is louder than ever

Does anyone have any other suggestions, or am I looking at stripping the door down and possibly fitting a new stay?

 

Did you look at the hinges?
