Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Door Hardware Lubrication
The mechanical components of the door are lubricated during assembly. If additional lubrication is required to any door hardware mechanism, lubricate with Lubriplate Spray-Lube GM P/N 1052349 or Canadian P/N 992723, Lubriplate Auto-Lube GM P/N 1052196 or Canadian P/N 5264008, or equivalent. Lubrication of the door hinge roller is not recommended, lubricating the door hinge roller may allow the door hinge roller to slide against the door check link contacting surfaces causing uneven wear to the door hinge roller.
