HELP!!!Problem w/ my rear door hinges!!!

Can anyone help me? I have a 95 SE and both my rear door hinges are real tight and seem to be rubbing on something inside the door. Only started since the cold weather set in up here in Buffalo, NY. Checked it out and can't seem to find any obvious problem. So I lubricated the hinges with WD-40 but the problem persists. Got any ideas? Thanks for the help.

WD40 is way too weak. Get some good grease for the hinges and the little bar.

I use WD40 and it works great for me. Just drench all the hinges in it and reapply it every so often.

This is a common problem. WD40 did nothing for me. I used the white grease, in a stick form, not the spray.

I'm gonna have to agree WD-40 is more of a cleaner and penatrant than a lubricant. Go get some white lithium grease the spray will work but try to get something that is not and aerosol
