Squeek in Passenger Rear Door Area

snkebyt · 02-11-08, 05:39 AM

I'm on my second '07 FJ (totalled the 1st one). They both have had an annoying squeak in the passenger rear door area. I searched the forums and don't see any mention of it. Doesn't matter if it's warm or cold.
I've tried putting a slipcoat on the rear door seal to body, but didn't work. Not sure if it's the door, trim, seat, etc.
Anybody else have this?

I just noticed the squeak, too. I think it comes from the rubber bushings on the right rear shock. When I have some free time, I'll bring the FJ to the dealership, as surely, it's an easy fix and a warantee item.

I had the same noise.

It was the seat bracket.

what is being done to remedy it.
it sounded to me like it was the seat sweaking on the door, or the rear plastic.
is there an adjustment that can be done to silence that shit?

I just pile more shit behind the seat to stop it.

No time to take it to the dealer.

just turn the radio up. it will stop squeaking

I have never heard it and I drive a lot with the radio off as it is the only time I have to myself.

But I will try and listen for it. Is it the rear door with the tire on it or the rear side doors?

I think Lovey is correct...the seat bracket. Passenger side rear suicide door area. I'll look closer at it this weekend. Both my FJs have been had it and very loud, so it is surely noticeable.

I can't remember exactly what I did to get rid of it.
Most likely lubed the seat catch thats in front of the sub.

Left hand turns were getting quite annoying.
