Hey GLCMAN. Maybe just go with the spanner until the noise is no longer there. I didn't go any tighter than I needed to.

Maybe it is too tight!

Try a real door hinge lube.

You are god’s sent. Local shop want to charge $300 for the replacement of 2017 GLC300. Luckily I found this post. 30 seconds to find the 9mm and done

You just saved me $996. Had my CLS in for the 60k service today and they reported "noisy driver door lower hinge." Wanted $996 to replace, and 2-3 work days. I took a pass on having them fix it and looked at it when I got home. Had some trouble piecing it all together until I found your post. That set screw was only hand tight. I loosened it by hand and the grinding/popping noise in the hinge got worse. I hand tighten it, then put a socket to it and tightened it fully. The hinge is absolutely quiet now. My question is one of trust with the service dept. at my dealership(where I have purchased 5 Mercedes). Why did the mechanic and service dept. recommend a $996 repair when a 10 second screw tightening was the fix? Were they intentionally misleading in order to cash dollars for the service dept? The alternative is almost worse- Are they so mechanically inept they do not know a simple 10 second fix? If this is the case I do not want these folks taking the engine apart on on my AMG GTC. Sheesh!

The only way to these dealers make money is through their service centres trust me I worked there!! Go on google find a trusted mechanic with incredible reviews and use him!! Mb and bmw will give you the crapp if you use anyone but us you warranty will be voided which is complete bs.. trust me run far away from those service centers they are heartless and could give a crap if it’s an old lady or a mother with 10 kids!!

In general and over time, Dealership profits come approximately equally from Sales, Service, and F&I.

Open the passenger side door, 7mm wrench and 2 seconds worth of effort to tighten the adjustment bolt on the lower hinge and no more noisy hinge.
