Ok, so here's the deal. I don't generally use the back doors since i don't pick up a lot of people. So they're basically getting stuck. They're really hard to open and close. I've tried greasing the black lil piece that is attached to the door and the car itself. I've used, wd-40, oil, white grease, black grease. I've even used my paintball gun lube. Nothing works. The only way that worked was when i put white grease on there and closed and opened the door for like 30 min. But then after the winter, it went back to being stuck. Should i take apart the black piece that is attached to the door and clean it throughly and lube it? What can i do?? Am i the only person with this problem?? Sounds like it should be fixed with a lil bit of lube..but it doesn't work..

 

Check the hinges, if they are as bad as mine (two hand door open) the door will flex around the hinges.

Blast with oil.

 

hinges seem fine....put wd-40 on it before...i guess this is a really simple problem that's a pain in the butt.....i'll just grease everything and anything that comes in contact with opening n closing the door....

 

yup I have the same problem with my back passenger side door. Any tips, besides lubing it up cause I already did that.

 

when you lube it, try hitting the joint lightly. The joint is probably to tight to allow any infiltration of the lube, so you need to open it up with tapping on it a few times. This is all just in theory from my head, but it's worth a shot.

 

I beleive it's the little arm thing in the middle, not the hinges, and it needs to be replaced. I'm in the same boat.

 

Same boat for both rear doors.

 

my rear doors are fine 212 KM on the car in the canadian winter and salt

i think its cause i grease them with Rust Check a lot that stuff stays on for a while.

did u check the FSM ? maybe there is a quick fix there

Side note: also look at swapping the "door open" sensors with the front and rears, not the actual sensors but the rubber housing the it sits in, the front ones on my car we both ripped but since the rear doors rarely open the were like brand new. so i swapped them and re-greased them.

 

My passager door doesn't open for ****. But I don't use it and neither does anyone else.

 

lol johnny no mates

 

I have the same problem. It sucks and its embarrasing
