Thank you Zach. I simply cannot believe that grease is a permanent solution for this problem.

Hows about some PB blaster to clear out old grease and then hit with fresh white lithium grease?
See my hatch post.. Damn it's cold.

Rich Sandor

but Chris, it will still have some resistance at some point and you will constantly need to regrease it depending on how often it is used. Not to mention, rain will seep in and wash the grease down the side of rocker panel on the car. Do it right, do it once!

Nobody answered my question: The people with stiff pax doors, did you have your doors removed at some point in the car's life?

Chris_924s

Great point Rich. I'll play with it tomorrrow.

damn... my passenger door is a pain in the *** to close, too... just chalked it up as another "quirk".

Did you leave your keys at home or do you have em?

I have personally seen a door hinge break off the pillar. The door had not been taken off the car before that and it didnt look like the hinge had ever been greased before. I respray mine with lithium grease at least every 6 months.

Holy cow--I never knew this problem was so widespread--add me to the "passenger side only" list. I just thought it was one of the "quirks".

yep..passenger side only here too..same way on both p-cars i've owned (well, three now but the latest is so new to me the passenger door hasn't even been opened and it's sitting 200+ miles away)

CPTdooberhead

Mine does it too.... I enjoy watching my girlfriend grunt everytime she closes the door too much to fix it though

Add another to the passenger door hard to close list. This problem was persisetant on both of the doors on my 924S. Spraying the hinges in white lithium grease made the problem go away temporarily. It needed to be resprayed every 2-3 months.

Heck - I just thought this was some weird German engineering.
Actually - both of my doors seem to be afflected with this terrible disease. I shall try your remedy this weekend.

My passenger door is like that too, embarrassing problem.
I got some lithium grease in the garage, I'll give it a try.
Thanks!
