Let's see how to resolve the annoying noise from the hinge of a Fiat Punto. Add an O-ring (seal) to your rod. Open the car door, and with a hex key, unscrew the securing O-ring of the hinge (mounted in the car door).

Remove the O-ring that holds the two parts and replace it with a new one (sand and lubricate). Fit the new O-ring with the securing nut and pin (using the hex key). Test the correct operation of the door after reassembling all previously removed parts.

If the rod is damaged, replace it.
