Cracking door holds

josh00mac · Jan 14, 2015

Does anyone know of a proper sort for this door cracking noise. I know the worn pin/bad design causes it but can I just get new parts? (ie where to buy new parts rather than just beating in a bigger pin)

The noise really ruins the entry and exit to the otherwise lovely car!

Aha - many thanks Wammers. I will have a look at the door today to see if I need to replace the assembly inside the door. Does this always need doing?

You need to look where the wear is, then decide what needs changing. I just listed the lot for your convenience.

Hmm, I've got the same thing on the drivers door. Couldn't see anything particularly obvious when I last looked (a few months ago) and a pile of lube didn't help soften it.

Hi

I found that on the first item in Wammers' list the hole goes oval over time an causes the crack as the pin moves, it's about a ten minute fix well worth it

That is what has happened with mine. I will order parts, some paint and get it done. Its a very 90s Peugeot sound when your colleague pulls open the door and just as the smell of leather hits their nose they are greeted with *CRACK*

as a cheaper fix, can you not drill it out to fit a larger roll pin? or am i too bodgy

Tell them it's a feature.
