The well-known automotive resource Apostrophe provides practical advice on this issue. Over time, the door stop can lose the lubricant that was originally applied to it. In addition, it often gets dirty and covered with a layer of dust, and sometimes water gets in.

But the results will exceed all expectations, as the soap film that forms will completely eliminate the squeak and will not bother you for a long time.

Thus, solving the car door squeak problem can be an easy task if you use a bar soap with a neutral pH, such as baby soap. This method is quick, effective, and affordable for every driver.
