my 92 LX hatch is squeaking like crazy. some days are worse than others. i have replaced the gasket seal, bumpers, and bump pads. the only thing that helped was the gasket seal but that only lasted like a month. i tried setting the bumpers to all different heights but none of that made a difference. any tips or tricks i can try?

Did you replace the hatch striker bushing?

I didn't think 92's had one. I will have to get one.
Weld it shut.

But honestly, try some silicone spray (very little) on the seal.
I'll give it a shot. I tried a light coating of detail interior dressing and it did nothing.
How is the fit? Does it line up everywhere it's supposed to?
It lines up just about perfect from what I can tell.

Well I guess I meant to say what is the condition of the striker pin? Is it worn out?

It looks like it may have seen better days. I'll buy one next order I place.

Thanks

I tried but couldn't find one in my price range that wasn't rotted out or hacked up. Came close to buying a real nice 93 notch but noticed the one strut tower was damn near missing lol
