Clunking sound when opening both front doors

Postby MarkSin » Thu Jun 14, 2018 9:08 pm

Hi again,
Both front doors of my car make a horrible clunking sound when opening or closing.
The noise is coming from a small box on top of the lower hinge. This box looks like it has a lid that should come off but I can't get it off. I was hoping to be able to get into the box to grease the bits which I am hoping will sort the noise out.
Is it possible to get into these boxes, are the lids not really lids?
The bit of searching I've done it seems like the answer is to replace the hinges. I would rather try to sort this out without doing that if I can.
Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.
