Solution for the abnormal noise in the GL8 sliding door: Add some lubricating oil. The door and the body are connected by hinges, just like the door at home. It is normal for the hinges to make noise after prolonged use. To ensure the smooth and quiet operation of the pulley, you can regularly add some lubricating oil for maintenance every 2-3 months. More details are as follows: 1. If you have been using the vehicle for some time, check whether the door sealing strip has aged. Since the sealing strip is a rubber product, it will gradually age and deteriorate over time, which can cause noticeable wind noise and friction sounds for the driver and passengers. 2. If the sealing strip is aged or damaged, it is recommended to replace it directly. Also, regularly clean the dust and rainwater between the gaps of the sealing strip during daily use to prevent aging.
Regarding the issue of GL8 sliding door squeaking, I often encounter owners asking about it. It's usually caused by dust accumulation or insufficient lubrication. If sand or dirt gets into the sliding track of the middle door, it will make a creaking sound when opening or closing, especially for vehicles frequently driven on dirty roads where the problem occurs more often. When I handle it myself, I first clean the track, brushing away the dust, then spray some automotive lubricant like silicone oil or a specialized spray – never use regular oil as it can corrode rubber components. If the noise persists, check if the hinge screws are loose and tighten them appropriately. Over time, worn rollers may also cause louder noises, so I recommend inspecting them every six months as preventive maintenance saves a lot of hassle. Ignoring it may lead to the door sliding roughly, potentially causing deformation or even safety hazards.
