Over time, the doors in the car begin to make unpleasant noises. And this applies to both the cheapest models and the rather expensive ones. The owners of “premiums” are the most tense, because it is embarrassing to leave the salon. The AvtoVzglyad portal tells about how to get rid of the “ailment” almost for nothing.
To begin with, we note that the cause of the annoying rattling is not in the door itself, but in the latch. And if steel hinges are abundantly lubricated with lithol, or treated with a more expensive imported lubricant, there will be no effect.
The service, as a rule, will advise you to replace the latch, which is expensive in itself. Repair with disassembly of the body element only makes sense if you hear a click when opening. This can be felt through the plastic cover installed in it. It is already worn out and needs to be replaced. No amount of lube will help here. You will have to look for a repair kit, and then do everything yourself, or go to the masters. But there is also good news. Now these kits are sold literally for every car, so finding the right one will not be a problem.
But let’s get back to the script. It appears when the grease applied to the limiter when the car was assembled has disappeared. And over time, dirt and water end up here. Especially “music” often irritates in the heat. Under the scorching sun, metal and plastic expand, the compression of parts improves and noise is created.
To remove it you need baby soap. It costs a penny and is sold in any store. To begin with, we remove the remnants of the old grease and rub the guides along the entire length. It’s good to go back and forth. At the same time, the dirt that has accumulated there for years is removed. We do not recommend wetting the soap: this way the effect will be short-lived. It is necessary that a fairly thick layer of it remains on the surface.
After work, you need to open and close the door several times, as if developing it. As a result, the composition will spread in an even dry layer over the entire surface and penetrate into the container. Finished! The creaking will no longer be a nuisance.
An attentive reader will ask: why, they say, soap is suitable, and not a lubricant like grease. The fact is that the latter literally attracts dirt. Therefore, after a year, the holder will “overgrow” with impurities, and the annoying noise will return.
