Mine doesn’t look like it has space or it’s migrated up. I’ll post a pic later not sure why driver side looks like it has no room and passenger side I can see pin and roller is def down on it maybe I need to tap it.To put the washer or oring on? If so it just slips over the pin or post. Takes a few seconds.
Yes, it taps down easily.Mine doesn’t look like it has space or it’s migrated up. I’ll post a pic later not sure why driver side looks like it has no room and passenger side I can see pin and roller is def down on it maybe I need to tap it.
That’s what my driver side door has done I’m assuming after the door over extended after a windy day where it caught it good.If that's the case, it didn't work that way on my driver door. The roller works it way all the way up the post and stays there. Then it would stop rotating due to the friction between it and the top of the post. I would lower it and lube it only to have to redo the process constantly.
What size is that im at tractor supply right now and looks like a 3/8 will fit or do I want 7/16?I dug through my stash and found an assortment of O rings. I found one I thought might work and popped it on the top of the roller shaft. Presto!! No more noise! I have several more of these so we will see how long it last. I love this forum!
I had to use 1/4" ID on mine, and O rings popped off every time, so I switched over to washers, which are holding in place so far.Bump…there a specific size that works 3/8 o ring too big?
What size and where did you get it?The washer I put on in my original post is still holding up and working great, haven't heard any noise in almost a year.
There's a picture of what I used in the first post. Lowe's or homedepot should have them.What size and where did you get it?

This forum is like hanging out with a bunch of MacGyvers.
The roller on the post slides up and down. Try tapping it down.I picked up some of the 1/4"x1/2"x1/16" rubber washers today. There's not enough clearance on the driver's side door to place a washer on the post. The passenger side is a different story however. It makes the irritating "sqounk" noise. A rubber washer fit easily on the post. Noise is gone for now.
I don't know how to account for the fairly large difference in the amount of clearance/space between the driver and passenger side posts. Huge tolerance difference IMHO.
Anyway, it's quiet for now.
The idea of the rubber washer is to hold the roller down. It's been working thus far anyway.The roller on the post slides up and down. Try tapping it down.
