annoying clicking drivers door

[Clio_Sport_Hull]

Tried to fix this with some wd40, its completely unberable, every time I open the door its a awfull clicking dound ? Anyone else had this if so please share to fix this

And no the bolts don't need tightening and making sure its not comming off, I've checked it ? Help

I have this aswell, isn't it the door hinge?

Mine does this too a fix would be great!!

had it on other car/vans in the past and it was the resistance bar that slows ur door when u open it and holds it half or fully open without it swinging.. about half way down ur door watch it when u open it and see

i know u said ur bolts are tight in original post but may help others as its the common cause on most vehicals

It means the higes are on the way out, my 106 GTI did it real bad then the hinge snapped, the trophy does it a little bit. french door hinges are all crap

+1 , its def not mine neither...

Must be something indie the hinge, when it goes in ???

Mines started doing this to.

mine's always done this (driver's door only). i've not had a look at it but assume it's the check-strap

if the hinges were worn, you'd be able to rock the door up and down whilst it was open

 

[Clio_Sport_Hull]

any suggestions, ive just blasted it with wd40 and it made it worse?

My passenger side window seems to do this when its up fully :S wind it down a smidgen and it stops.

I know its not related but its weird

My brothers 1.2 does this too, it's done around 80k miles now so I just assumed it was done to wear and tear. Imagine how many times the average car door gets opened and closed in it's life..

Its my passenger door thats the worst and its hardly used.

i had this on my last clio.... i found out that.... on the door there is 2 bolts that tighten something on the door. one of these had come loose and everytime you opened or closed the door the bar that the bolt screwed onto kept hitting part of the door. i know it dont make much sense but i can take some photos too show you where my problem was if you want

 

[caister]

Yeah pics please!!!

 

[Clio_Sport_Hull]

If you can get some pics, that would be great

This happened in mine all it needed was the 2 nuts tightened on the locator bar - it sits in between the hinges inside the door shut

Same on mine, started happening again recently so need to get the tool set out again.

As said it's not the hinge, it's the bar that holds the door in place when you open it.

Old post I know but thought I'd put forward my opinion..

If its the horrible loud click noise it could be pin/bolt holding the checkstrap (bar that holds the door when you open it). Sometimes if they break people replace them with any random nut and bolt, and if you watch it as you open the door the bolt will move, and that is what is causing the horrid noise. Can go to Renault and get the pin shouldn't cost much atall.

The split pins are pennies and should sort the problem if you currently see movement there.

If its come away inside the door skin, then you have issues.
