WD 40 is only a short term fix I think you need to put some grease on it. I sprayed some silicone grease on mine and it stoped and hasnt come back

X2 on that. Dry silicon lube is also good for the door hinges and striker bolts. I even used some in my door locks and tailgate lock. If you are storing your vehicle it is a good idea to spray some silicone lube on a towel and apply an even coat to door gaskets in order to prevent them from bonding to the metal surfaces of the door ( My dad and I do this when we store all of his antique cars in the summer months).

yeah bud the silicone spray worked wonders but you have to let it air out cause the first couple of times you get in you smell it pretty good. but it aint bad. :thumb:
