anybody have a creaky drivers door, i'm afraid to let dealers near it could they'll screw up something else

eggtruck · May 26th, 2007, 06:05 PM

my 06 MCS has a creaky driver door. I think its just something they do. Does make it sound like an old car.

MarkW19 · May 26th, 2007, 06:07 PM

My 06 MCS Works also has a creaky driver's door (and also passenger's door sometimes!).

As doors are pretty 'standard' items, this thread should be in the relevant forum area, rather than a in the 'Works' area....?

Or do we think thats its perhaps down to italian build quality,.....??

Another oxymoron....

My own little 'italian special' had me out of bed at 5.30 with its alarm doing its nut, had to disconect the battery....

i though it was a GP thing, have been through a few MINI's and never had this prob...so Yes i think down to the italians

Had this on my old S - grease will sort it

Birdog · May 26th, 2007, 08:43 PM

Same, My 06 MCS had creaky doors

MINICooperMurph · May 26th, 2007, 08:46 PM

Just grease up the check strap, easy

AlexF2003 · May 26th, 2007, 09:44 PM

If it creaks it simply requires lubricating LOL

PmP · May 27th, 2007, 04:32 PM

Had this on on my cooper and on my cooper S twice in 3 years. Take it to stealers and ask them to grease it up for you. Should do it for free.

Rakey · May 27th, 2007, 04:35 PM

both my doors creak pretty badly, must get it sorted out at some point

wildchild jules · May 27th, 2007, 04:38 PM

My Cooper had this - seem to remember my dad sorting with a bit of WD40 in the hinge or something - I know I didn't take it to the dealers though to get it sorted.

PmP · May 27th, 2007, 04:59 PM

I tried sorting it with some silicon lubricant I had, and some other grease, and it got better for a while, dealer uses the correct stuff for the doors.

Snowie · May 28th, 2007, 03:58 PM

Had this also on my GP - rectified with a good spray of door lube on the check strap

LMB · May 28th, 2007, 10:50 PM

Mines fine......as others have said though a bit of lub should short it.

DaFlake · May 29th, 2007, 07:22 AM

Had the same problem on my MCS. A little shot of WD40 solved the problem.
