Rear door lube

The best stuff ever…. (well so far for the rear door squeak issue)
GUNK plumber’s silicone grease! Part No. GR2V.

Waterproof, heatproof to 400*, nontoxic, non flammable, and nonstaining.

It’s FDA approved.

Contains some of my favorite substances like:
Polydimethylsiloxane/63148629, Dimethyl Siloxane, Hydroxyterminated/70131678, Silica, and of course Amorphous Fumed/7631869. It just don’t get any better than that!

Seems to work great and doesn’t make a visible mess as other lubes do. All for $3.36 at Lowe’s…

Regards,

I have tried alot of stuff that all works good at first and wears off after a few days or weeks. I'll give this stuff a try!
 
White lithium grease baby. Did it when i got her in july and i can still open those doors quieter than a ninja.

I just cleaned the old crud off with a bit of Lacquer Thinner. Then took my finger and wiped a small amount on the arm. It doesn't take much just a light coating on the top and bottom. At first there was still a hint of a squeak, but after 4 o/c's it stopped and is as smooth as butter. Now even the wind closes it.

BTW EVERYONE has the problem.

i usually just use some anti-seize stuff or twister i also have this "foaming" grease which works the best ... and at a price of .25 cents a can for me cant beat the price

I am sure there are many things that work for this. The advantage here is this is about as non messy as you can get. I just don't like opening the door and seeing a gob of grease there. My 95 had a real mess of white lithium grease in that area on all four doors when I got it. This stuff is real close to clear when applied. Also very little is needed. That's why I said this is the best stuff. I expect the small amount I got will last for years.

They also seem much smoother, I have never had the doors swing so easy, a real difference.

I've been using silicone grease from Wal-Mart on all the vehicles at my house. Once it's applied, I never hear a sound from the doors again.

WD-40 needed to be applied almost monthly.

I'm really suprised at how many people have this problem but couldn't solve it on their own. :shrug:

I'm sure lots of folks have some sort of solution, some are just better than others. However there are a lot of folks that just never figured it out, or new Tour owners, etc. I've even seen some vetran tour owners struggle with it.
