bilgewiper Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 Hello. Found this forum while surfing for info on stereo replacement. I have a 2010 XLT wagon that I currenly have 15,000+ miles on that I bought during the federal tax wasting "cash for clunkers" deal. Replaced a worn out "98 Chevy Express full size van. This Little van has more floor to top rear door entry height than the fullsize van which was its major selling point to me anyway. Oh, and I suppose the consistant 24-26mpg vs, 14-15 for the old Chevy was a factor. Now if I just could find the creaky squeeek in the rear doors I would be most happy with it.

Ethan For the squeak - try putting a small bit of gease in the door latches, mostly the (black plastic) piece that catches the striker. That stopped it in mine. (And made driving far more pleasureable!) I missed the clunkers program by 2 days. Why couldn't that damn car have burned up a couple of days earlier???

bilgewiper Posted January 15, 2010 Author Share Posted January 15, 2010 Thanks, I'll try put lubeing those point to. My squeek sounds like rubber against steel. I went so far as to drop the spare tire and make a big round felt gasket to go between the spare and the floor, to no avail. I think it's still the rear doors though as the pitch will change sometimes after messing with the doors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, my spare WAS loose, and the cable end that goes into the bracket that holds it to the body was also creating some havoc. Much less after those, but still had that annoying little mouse. (or were it mice? sounded like a whole herd of 'em) The last issue was exactly what you are describing, and I could NOT believe that this was the culprit. Needless to say, my wife now thinks I am a freakin' GENIUS! (And I assure you, I will not even attempt to change that!)
