Driver door squeak
I've been noticing sort of a squeaky noise coming from the front driver's door, especially when going over imperfections in the road and with the radio off. Does anyone else notice this? I'm used to the third light rattle every so often but this driver door squeaking can get a little annoying. I also felt the driver door not closing as smoothly as usual and I found a loosesilver boltwhere the driver door attaches to thelower hinge. It then closed normally after I tightened it. I don't know if that has anything to do with the squeaking. Thanks for any ideas or observations that you may have.
BTW, it's an 07 LT3 Z71 4x4

RE: Driver door squeak
I had a rattle that seemed to be coming from the driver door area. I brought mine in and they found a loose bracket in the door behind the driver. I believe it was a bracket inside the door for the window. After three trips to the dealer, they fixed it.

You probably have worn hinge pins / bushings on your door hinge. Replacing them is the best answer, but in the meantime, you can quiet the squeak with some grease or wd-40 on the hinge pins.

Most likely is caused by the weather-stripping rubbing against the door, the application of DuPont Krytox to the rubber door weather-strip normally will eliminate the noise. Silicone grease is less expensive and works well but it requires more frequent applications and can be messier.
