GU Squeaky rear barn door

Post by Neetas »

Anyone familiar with the sqeak in the larger barn door - sounds rubbery. I did have a big 16" steel rim with some big rubber hanging off it until recently, however the DX's have steel wheels, so I would have thought the weight differential would be relatively small. Any known fixes if it's a weight issue or otherwise?
Thanks
Mike

at the bottom where the rear doors close on the body is a black U shaped rubber that the bigger of the 2 doors slides into try some silicone spray there as the door is weighed down it rubs here hope this helps Adam...

to fix the rear door squeak you will need to adjust the hinges, this is done by, removing the door card on the rh door, then backing the bolts off a bit, then with the help of the apprentace, lift the door to gain the correct adjustment, retighten the bolts and check alignment, this should support its own weight, and align in the centre of the frame,you can see the drop if viewed at the top, this is good to use as a referace for the correct position, then adjust the aligning mount to suit (the rubber block at the bottom), then the stricker to suit, some times the top striker will need to be adjusted to , this may need the holes filed to gain the correct adjustment. after the right hand door is aligned then the left hand one is adjusted to suit, this may ownly need the striker adjusted. so when veiwed the striker aligns with the centre of the catch, this inable easy opening, and closing, AND NO MORE SQUEAKS, cheers, Phill.
