My door getting heavier??
Just noticed that my front doors seem heavier... it's not smooth to open or close. Is there anything i could use to make it feel lighter and/or make it smooth?

thanks,
Tae

funny, i'm going outside right now to grease or possibly take off my passanger side door panel. Only that door is giving me problems, it's hard to close and open it now..

but wd-40 won't last that long...it's not really a lubricant.

it stopped the creak on my doors for about 2 weeks then it came back. i just used some lithium grease on it.

WD-40 is for breaking down rust. Like said above, it is not a lubricant. Make some bacon and use the grease from that.

white lithium grease does the trick. buy at autozone or auto parts store for $1 something and you're all set.
