Eliminate Squeaks from Door Hinges

Model: Fiat Punto MK 2, 188 - Years 1999-2011
Part: Car door

Over time, with use and exposure to the elements, the hinges or the stop limiting the door's opening can dry out, causing squeaks. First, it is good practice to check the hinges and the stop periodically, without waiting for them to dry out completely. If you hear squeaks, try using a common penetrating spray with a straw to spray into the hardest-to-reach corners. These products are not only lubricants but also act as cleaners, so I would recommend using some grease from an aerosol can afterwards.
