Door Squeaking fixed!

[Artum_Snowbird]

Dougrainer posted a while back about fixing a door squeak. Ours tried to drive us crazy and really was bad.

I read Doug's post:

I know you believe it is the rubber. I work on motorhomes for a living and have for 38 years. I cannot remember the last time a door noise was caused by rubber on metal. The odds are you need to use lithium or white grease on the metal door latch mechanism. I have numerous customers that come in and state the same thing you state. I use white grease on the metal latch, we go for a test drive and the customer cannot believe it was such a simple fix. Doug

and when my rig came home I used lithium grease on the door latch mechanism. To my delight, the squeaking was totally gone.

Thanks Doug, that was the best advise I have seen in a long time!

.... When entering/exiting your RV be careful not to brush your cloths against any exposed latch mechanism parts that have been coated with lubricant!

I have lived with a squeaky driver door on our 1990 E350 Class C for years. A few weekends ago I decided to try and isolated. I also assumed it was the weatherstripping. Turned out the be the latching mechanism inside the door. Gave it a shot with some spray oil and the squeak is gone!

I know what you mean. Sometimes can't believe the good stuff ole Doug takes time to post here.

I have had the same results with other ailments.
