Door hinge?

[07Denali]

Fixed yet? I did take mine to the dealer and like I said, it was not covered by extended warr. They did not say anything about the hinges being glued on. As a matter of fact made a point to say that he was happy that they are just bolted on as opposed to some of the older ones where they were welded on and had to be cut off.

Haven't had time to get in there with some needle-nose. I really hope that works as I cannot for the life of me find the part number for the entire hinge.

I think I have the invoice from when they replaced mine.....Let me know if you need part #'s for everything they changed.

Mine did this exact same thing. I sprayed white lithium grease on it and it still did it. So I went to the dealer and of course my extended "it covers everything warranty" did not cover it so I waid fugg it and waited. As soon as it got a bit warmer I think that the grease had a chance to work in there and the wheel is rolling like new again.
I would try to get a hold of it (the wheel)with a pair of needle nose channel locks and turn it manually while spraying wd40. As soon as it frees up spray a grease in there, it has more "sticking power".

Having the same "clunk" opening and closing the driver's door on my 07 Yuk XL Denali. I too sprayed whith lith grease (this summer and again this week). The clunk is still there, but it didn't start until the extreme cold this past week. I'm guessing it is mainly due to the cold temps and snow ice that was on the door, adding weight (no longer there). I will try a more liquid grease, today to see if that helps.
