Squeaking Drivers Door
When opening and closing, my drivers door has developed a squeak. Can I just hit the hinges with WD40 or would something else be preferred? Anyone else with a squeaky door?

you can try to lube the hinges and hope it works.
our doors have magnetic system to hold it where you leave it open and it has gears i believe situated in the door panel. it might also be cause of the sound.

Thank you, I ordered some white lithium grease. I appreciate the help and recommendation to not use wd40.

It is not an instant fix and takes some time for complete penetration. You want to work it in the joints, etc with a gloved hand. Opening and shutting the door numerous times will also get things started, but it takes a bit to work its magic.
