    Hello! I have a 2001 Toyota Tundra SR5 Access Cab and I have come to notice that the rear driver's side door and front driver's side door (where they both close, like where the rear driver's side door meets the hinge to close) kind of squeaks where they both close. It's hard to describe the noise, but it sort of raddles in my ear as I drive and honestly.. it's pretty annoying. I'm not really sure what to do; I'll use WD-40 and White Lithium Grease on the hinges and where everything closes, but I wanted to see if anyone else has an idea for me! I don't want to buy parts or get new door hinges... let alone a new rear driver's side door. Any ideas would be much appreciated because I hate this noise... which is right in my ear... lol.

    I think I know exactly what you are talking about, it's more from up at the top corner of the door? Did you get it sorted, I have tried many things but what did make a difference was to actually grab the top corner of the drivers door and put your knee agasinst the middile of the door and pull really hard to "bend" the door slightly. That's the only thing that made a difference and to be honest Im not 100% sure which way made the difference as I was doing it both directions. I have tired doing it to make it close the door tighter up in that corner and also tried the other way to make it not as tight so it would not be squeezing as hard. I think it was making it close looser that made the difference but I am not 100% sure, it's still making some noise but no where near as bad as before.

    Thanks to castawaydave on another forum I found this fix, totally silent after this easy fix.
