General noisy door hinge in hot weather

[JohnRock]

I am new to this forum so this is my first post. In hot weather the rear doors on my Evo are stiff and noisy, its not the hinges but the strap in the centre. I have tried all types of lubrication but nothing seems to work. Can anybody offer a solution?

Hi, I also suffer with this on my 2010 Evo, so tried White Lithium spray although noise has not gone. Unfortunately read your post after I'd bought the spray. Should I still try the gt85?

I used gt85 and it did nothing. I have the same problem I have located it to the end of the door stay inside the door. So to get to it you have to take the door card off. I haven't done it as inside the end is covered by a rubber type box. So I'm dubious about ripping that bit apart. But it's really embarrassing.

Get some decent grease and shove a blob of it on.

Yeah it only happens in hot weather.

This is a real pain on Puntos. I too have tried different types of lubricant on my punto, none of which work in hot weather.
