There is a nylon insert that the pin goes through. i suggest changing this first as its only 20p from Vauxhall.

I did this job today, and used the part number quoted by Chav (90462823) for the nylon bush insert. Bought 2 from the Vauxhall Dealer for 66p.

Removed and refitted with a dab of WD40 on both doors, and no more cracking!!  :)

Cheers for the tip guys.

Yes, i just replaced the nylon bushes. Didn't see any point replacing the other bits as the bush itself is the most likely part to suffer wear. You can buy the other bits later if you still think you need them.

Saying that, on removal, I couldn't actually see any visible wear on the bushes, but replaced them anyway. So it may have been a combination of replacing/lubricating and tightening that cured it. Either way for 66p and 10 minutes with a pair of 10mm spanners, its an easy job thats well worth doing.

Fair point, but the fact he asked about it means this thread isn't visible enough.

I've noticed that a lot actually, I go to the bother of making a good guide to something then nobody bothers looking for them.

I might as well just be a useless c*** like Shifty

Nail on the head right there. Same as sunroofs, tap sunroof into search and twenty ten million threads will appear, it's not hard but there you go ;D

Guides section does get overlooked I must admit, I done a guide on sensor faults yet this keeps popping up regularly on new threads ::)
