Squeaky Quad Door

[Archive]

My trucks driver side quad door squeaks every time the frame twists a little. It has been doing this since new. If one wheel is going over a bump it squeaks and when going over a bumpy road it is just plain annoying. Has anyone had this problem? Is there an easy way to fix it?

I think most QuadCabs do this, at least both of the ones I've owned squeak. My new truck does it a little on surfaces that are quite uneven. Haven't tried anything to try and correct it though.

One thing I noticed was that unless you give the quad door a little slam, the bottom latch won't lock down completely which will make it looseish and sqeaky. The quad door should be rock solid when latched properly.

I was going to post the same thing ! Even when I "slam" the quad cab door shut, it still seems to squeak when I go over some un-even road terrain. It still seems though after I shut it hard, that the door will still move a little bit around the bottom latch ? maybe something is out of adjustment?

You may try to adjust the bottom striker plate in some and that may help mine also makes some noise a little sun of a gun or other brand of protector on the gaskets will help and extend the life of the gaskets.
