tonyt Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Greetings I have a 2008 Tourneo and from day 1 have struggled to pinpoint the source of squeaking rear doors. I know there is some flexing there and I'll be happy to apply the appropriate anti-squeak surface when I can find out where it's coming from. I've taped some fabric on the door edges where they come into contact with the door rubbers but it still squeaks. It seems mostly to come from the top centre catches but no matter how I try and cover the offending surfaces...... it still squeaks. I had the same condition on a previous Connect so it must be a well know condition. Anyone else had, and solved, this problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtn Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 You mean the rear side sliding doors? Tourneo has a hatch AFAIK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyt Posted April 16, 2014 Author Share Posted April 16, 2014 Thanks but no, I mean the rear barn doors on my Tourneo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtn Posted April 16, 2014 Share Posted April 16, 2014 Ok, that's a rare combination. I have never heard my barn doors squeak (at least the ones on the van). Have you used any silicone based conditioners on the rubber? Those are from hell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyt Posted April 16, 2014 Author Share Posted April 16, 2014 Thanks. I've not knowingly used any silicone stuff but not had the van very long and not sure what previous owners used. Maybe worth a wipe down with something to remove any silicone (or other polish) that might be there. Now that leads onto an obvious question turps/meths/soap 'n water/white spirit?
