| 1997 Riviera. Owner said it did this since he's owned it so he figured it was normal. I don't know if it is... Anyone else have squeeky locks on their Riv and what did you do to fix it? I sprayed silicone lube in the keyholes and the lock hatches on the door sides. That seemed to quiet down the DS door but not the PS one.  | |

| My locks kind of go "ka-chunk" and do not squeak at all. I suspect the inside ofthe door got wet. You'll have to pull the door panel and lube the control rods with tune-up grease or syl-glide.

| For door lock mechanisms, I use graphite powder instead of liquid lubes. Probably won't help the squeaking, but just fyi. _________________ '05 GTO 6.0L • 6-spd • 95k miles • 0-60: 4.8s • 16.9 avg MPG • Nelson Ledges Lap: 1:26'95 Celica GT 2.2L • 5-spd • 165k miles • 0-60: yes'98 SC Riviera • 281k miles • 298 HP/370 TQ • 0-60: 5.79s • ET: 13.97 @ 99.28 • 4087 lb • 20.1 avg MPG • Nelson Ledges Lap: 1:30

| So I took the door panel part off yesterday and soaked the lock mechanism in graphite lube. Today there is no more squeak. Go figure.  | |
