What Causes the Door Squeaking in Nissan X-Trail?
2 Answers
Nissan X-Trail door squeaking reasons are as follows: Squeaking caused by internal wiring harness hitting the door panel: When driving on bumpy roads, the internal wiring harness may hit the door panel, creating continuous noise. To eliminate this, remove the door trim panel, secure the wiring harness inside, and it's recommended to attach a small piece of sponge to the door panel where the wiring harness is located. Squeaking caused by door seals: After prolonged use, door seals can age and deteriorate, causing friction between the seal and the car body, which may result in squeaking while driving. Replacing the seal with a new one can resolve this issue.
I've been driving my X-Trail for several years, and the door squeaking is really annoying. It's usually caused by lack of lubrication in the door hinges or aging of the weatherstrips. When you open or close the door, it keeps creaking nonstop. I remember my car had the same issue last time - I bought some lubricant spray and applied it to the hinges, which helped a lot. If the weatherstrip is cracked, you'll need to replace it, otherwise some water might leak in during rainy days. Additionally, loose door panels or rusted latches are also common causes. When doing a quick check, try rolling down the window to see if the noise changes. If it persists, don't ignore it - get it checked at the shop immediately, as driving with constant squeaking can be distracting and unsafe. Regular door maintenance can prevent these issues. I simply clean and lubricate mine monthly, which has saved me a lot of trouble.
