Squeaky rear hatch?? Nowave2big 12-29-2004, 02:32 PM
Any one else have this problem while driving. Seems to do it worse when the weather is cold. It's a 99 blazer by the way. Any fixes?? swalt 12-29-2004, 10:20 PM I have the same problem when its really cold. Go to your local autoparts store and gets some silicone spray and spray down the weather stripping. Also lube up the alignment pin where the window secures. I find that during the winter I need to lube it once a week to get rid of the noise. crazys182003 12-30-2004, 12:00 AM or you could back into a tree.......well ok that only partly fixes the squeak. Yep putting a dent into the abck of my hatche due to my rear tire stopepd the squeaking for a couple weeks but then for some damn reason it was back. Oh well guess I'll lvie with it. seems like troo much work what ur explaining swalt to do it every week I would forget or soemthing. swalt 12-30-2004, 09:22 AM I'm somewhat anal about squeaks, creaks, and rattles. Makes me wonder why I bought a Blazer sometimes. For the most part, I have been able to get rid of most of the squeaks with two way tapes/foam etc on various panels. The 15 seconds to pull the can of spray out the back and spray the seal is nothing. Gives you something to do while waiting for the truck to warm up. crazys182003 12-30-2004, 09:18 PM yea but I am kinda lazy and when I start my blazer I want to go soemwher. When it warms up does not concern me but I do have the TBI where if I ahd the CPI maybe I would wait than. My last vehicle was a carberator and I ahd no choice but to wait. But with the TBI I start and go. crazy4nitro 12-31-2004, 08:35 AM why does it matter which injection you have(tbi vs. cpi)? I understand if your carbed,but as a rule of thumb you should let it run for a short bit before driving. :confused: crazys182003 01-01-2005, 12:59 AM my understanding is that the CPI works similar to a carberator. isn't that what the C is? I may be wrong never did full research on it. but when I had a carberator vehicle when i went to leave right away it would stall out due to not being warmed up. it wasn't getting the right mixture or something I believe. now granted it was a ford escort hatchback which is a lot different than a chevy blazer.

Ssincere 01-04-2005, 09:59 AM Not to take over, but i have the same problem with the rear window on my 91. Any way to fix it??? thanks. Fireplug 01-04-2005, 10:27 AM Vasoline Thin coat on the rubber gaskets will fix it for some time Elkaholic 01-05-2005, 12:37 AM Vasoline Thin coat on the rubber gaskets will fix it for some time If you coat all your seals with armour all or something simaliar it will help with squeaks and also keep your doors from freezing shut in cold weather. jetaylorpb 01-05-2005, 09:29 AM I thought the Armor All would dry rot the rubber seals quicker? tom3 01-05-2005, 09:44 AM Two problems I've had with Blazers, lower hinges and the window latch itself. Put a good shot of oil on those lower hinges a couple times helps that, a small dab of grease on the little bar that latches at the bottom of the glass will stop that from grating. I was about ready to weld my tail gate to the body to stop that hinge squeek, nasty one there. jetaylorpb 01-05-2005, 09:49 AM The worst noise I have had so far was the cover for the jack compartment which has the rolling cargo cover included. It is currently just laying in the back of the blazer. Got any ideas on how to stop that one? I was thinking of putting felt around the inside and on the rubber feet. bigjonsta 01-21-2005, 10:46 PM i had the same problem until the rear lift supports went out completely. i replaced them for about $ 30 and now it doesn't make any noise at all BlazerLT 01-22-2005, 06:19 PM Is it a metallic squeak or a rubber squeak?
