Contour Enthusiasts Group Archives Forums General Troubleshooting Need Help - Squeaking Door Panels

Hey guys - I have done a search - could not find any references to this problem.

I recently had a new stereo system installed in my Contour, including speakers (5x7's, JBL GTO7525). My driver's side door panel is squeaking like a mouse now. Brought it back to the shop and had them make sure everything was tight, but to no avail. Anyone else ever have this problem? Anything I can do to make the damn thing quiet again? Nothing like driving down a rough road and listening to what sounds like a nest of birds in my door...

Before I assembled my door panels after installing speakers I went over the area where the mesh is looking for loose spots. I sealed up the spots with some of that household welder cement. A couple of the plastic welds were questionable so I glued them too. The glue works good on speaker screws to keep them from backing out over the years. If you used T nuts to fasten the speakers they can let out a serious squeak.

Thanks for the info - I will check that out this weekend.

i have a 96 contour and my rear doors make a awful noise when we close and open them have lubed them up and everything i could think of. Some1 had siad the rubber groumet was not there ans causing it to do that metal rubbing on metal. What do you guys think?

Use WD-40...works on all sorts of squeaks...
