Really no need for pics... You open the door and see the black restraint strap that connects to the inside door panel. There is a quarter size cheap plastic cover that comes off easy and for some reason is hard to put back on but does..big bolt/screw underneath that supposess to need tightening, I tried to but to no avail.. ssoo After many tries got the plastic thing to snap back into place and for no reason but voila no more creak/crack noise everytime I openned the drivers door fully:
Oh weell thanks forum not sure how but problem solved!!

Hi guys, Im having this problem, took the black cover off and used a torx bit on a small ratchet wrench and could tighten it ever so slightly but still did not stop the noise, how much force did you guys use to fix the problem, also just to confirm the bolt does tighten by screwing to the right and its not a wierd opposite thread?

Well tried this with a big torque wrench and wouldnt go any tighter, however now think my noise is being caused by the pins in the centre hinge as can see them move slightly when the noise is produced, have ordered two replacements, does anyone have any idea how to fit them?
