How to Eliminate Squeaks from Inside the Bodywork

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Body

In this video, you will learn how to remove some squeaks that you may hear inside your vehicle, often coming from plastic parts that do not fit perfectly. You will need a plastic spatula that does not scratch. In this case, the squeak comes from the internal handle of the vehicle; use the spatula to lever it starting from the bottom, and then gently detach it. If you look at the handle inside, you will see some tabs that need to be greased to stop them from making noise. Do the same in the housing on the opposite side. Then reinsert it, and you will notice that it no longer squeaks. Clean it well to ensure that grease hasn’t soiled the exterior, and you’re done. Repeat on the other side.
