I recently began taking a 5 mile "off-highway" dirt road here in San Diego, and noticed some serious creaking from my supercab doors on some rough areas of the road.

For all you folks out there that go off-road, is this normal? Along with the doors creaking, it also seems like my supercab doors even break their air seals from time to time as the road gets rough.

 

Has the vehicle ever had any body work around the door/fender areas?

 

i did a searce and found this

if this link didn't work It looks like the answer is to just snug up the screws on the bottom of the door panel. when i get home tonight i'm going to fix mine.

 

Thanks for the reply guys. My truck has never been in an accident before or had any previous body work. I was just assuming that the convenience of the duel scab doors was a compromise to the structural rigidity of the cab, especially since my truck is 2000 model year with 60K miles.

I'll give the screw tightening a try tomorrow morning, hopefully that will work!!!

 

Well, I was going to tighten the screws this morning on my door panel, and guess what? I don't have screws at the bottom of my door panel!!!

From what I was able to see, my interior door panel is "snapped" into place (different style door?), like many of the other interior bits. So unfortunately, the fix that worked for others won't be able to work with my truck, I guess I'm screwed, haha.

 

It could be movement of the door and the rubber gaskets squeaking. Try hitting the gaskets with a silicone spray made to keep them soft.

 

I'm willing to try anything now! Thanks for the info, Pepboys here I come.
