Both chargers I had developed a squeak in the door handle when opening them.

Any suggestions?

I tried some silglide lubricant and it didn't seem to help.

Maybe squirt some silicone lubricant in there?

Thoughts appreciated

Holy Toledo I have not ever had that problem with my HC Charger but the only thing I would do is get the WD-40 out and use it........and when I'm out of it .....olive oil seems to work great on my house doors;)

Hell, whom hasn't?? Except mine started with the fuel rails, converters, fuel pumps, ect. I do believe, praying to the grouper gods, it will not follow me. Warranty is closing down soon and could be a changer. Not a Challenger, but I will keep this one and look.

45000 miles in all sorts of weather and driving conditions and no squeaks other than the driver’s seat. Grab a video so we can see what’s going on with it.

Worrying about the little shit will put you in a early grave.

I suppose it's not a little thing when having four of them.

Does anyone get the clicking sound coming from the driver side seatbelt holder area? Sounds like there’s a loose piece of plastic in there or something. Have that in my charger never bothered with it though.
