Creaking front passenger side door
My 2010 GL450's front passenger side door has started making a creaking/grinding sound when it is opened and closed. What should I do about it?

It's a pretty small area, so you should be able to at least narrow down where the noise is coming from. For example... hinge? Then look closer and try to see what, specifically, is causing it. Is something loose? Does spraying a lightweight lubricant on it stop it (at least temporarily) or make it lessen? Does the door sheet metal scrape against the fender sheet metal?
