Hi Everyone, As a follow up to the 'noisy drivers door' thread, a couple of members mentioned that their drivers door creaked when accelerating or braking.
Mine creaks for a few days then stops for no discernible reason.
I can go for weeks before it starts again.
My question is, has anyone solved this annoying problem, and if so how.
I have used all my extensive mechanical know-how, by slamming the door and swearing, but the problem is still there.
When I open the door fully and move it up and down, there seems to be a bit of play in the top hinge.
Thanks David

probably better replace the hinge or the tratter boys will be saying you doors have fell of
 
Thanks for the replies.
Epicuser. Yes the door lifts a little more than the n/s/f, so I'll look into a replacement hinge as teddywood1 has suggested.
Thanks everyone.
