Squeaking rear hatch is driving me nuts! - Diesel Forum

The plastic piece that runs along the inside bottom of the glass squeaks like crazy unless you apply upward pressure. Any ideas how to fix this squeak, and some others that come from barn doors themselves? I'm not at all good at fixing this kind of stuff, but the squeaks make me crazy. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

Try Armor-All or Dry Slide. Dry Slide is powdered graphite.

Sylicone spray or grease usually works well, assuming it is from the weather stripping or some other easily accessable seam.

I've tried silicon, and it'll fix it for a few minutes. I think the rear door is just loose - I bought a huge torx and will try to tighten it up this week.
