What Causes the Squeaking Noise When Opening and Closing Car Doors?

[StMargaret]

The causes of squeaking noises in car doors include loose interior panels, rusted door hinges, and aging door seals. Below are the specific reasons for door squeaking: Loose Interior Panels: If the interior panels or audio components are loose, you can detect this by shaking them by hand. Alternatively, while driving, press on the area where the noise is coming from. If the noise stops, then this is the source of the issue, and simply tightening the components should resolve it. Rusted Hinges: Rust on the door hinges (or joints) usually becomes noticeable when opening or closing the door. Aging Seals: Aging door seals are a common issue, especially in cars where the seals have not been maintained for a long time.
