Minor Issues

Well, If you would have clicked the first link in the first post, you would have seen pics of my BAMF-ing ride. If you don't feel like scrolling all the way back up there, click here.

www.gmpartsdirect.com can get you all the parts you mentioned!!
As for the sunroof, you can either use Spot Spot or Tuff Stuff upholstery cleaners to clean them with a Microfiber or any other smooth cloth!
You also could just put suede on the sunroof too, would run $300!!

Third, the driver's door hinge moves down when opened, and makes a loud "clack" noise when closing (noise comes from the hinge moving back up due to the force of the closing door). Are there spacers that I can install? If so, where can I get them?

On my '03 Tahoe the piece that connects to the hinge is solid so there is no space to put in any spacers like yours is. I'm guessing they made a design change between '00 and '03. Try lubing it (white lithium grease, etc) and see if that fixes the issue, I'll bet you it is just dry.

Oh, and I forgot to mention...that isn't my house you see behind my Hoe. Mine is actually to the left of it. Just thought I should point that out. (We have a little too many cars (5), so my neighbor lets me park there)

Dynamo...would some TriFlow or some marine-grade bearing grease work? I don't seem to have any White Lithium Grease.

White lithium is great for that sort of application but any kind of lubricant would at least tell you if a lack of lubrication is the problem. Even a shot of WD-40 would work.

Okay...here is a quick video of my problem. For some reason, it was not hard to turn in the beginning of the video, but it wasn't even going at the end. IDK why it is doing this. Anyway, here is the video. (NOTE: I was doing it hard, and it would not turn. I was not exaggerating at all)

I checked out the passenger side, and the bolt thing is actually upside down. I also tried using TriFlow on my door and it did not help a bit. I still makes a terrible clacking noise whenever it is opened all the way, then shut. I will try to remember to take a video of it...

I'm interested in the door thing b/c my both my rear passenger doors make a clanking noise when I open and close them. Almost like something is sticking.

I'm interested in the door thing b/c my both my rear passenger doors make a clanking noise when I open and close them. Almost like something is sticking.

It is just the metal bracket arm thing catching on the pin (because it falls to the bottom of the pin when opened), and when you close the door, it forces the bracket arm thing upward, causing it to make the loud noise.

It is kinda like taking a tooth pick and holding onto each end and forcing the middle to go outwards. When the wood can't take the amount of torque, it snaps. Same with the metal bracket arm thing. Once it can't take any more upward torque, it "snaps" back into place. Does this make sense?

So all we need in order to fix it is a metal or plastic spacer that "clips" onto the pin that the bracket arm thing is holding onto. The only problem is finding the right one...
