neilb Posted January 3, 2005 Report Posted January 3, 2005 matt r u sure its the door??? Is it the door itself or the card or any other part of the trim.?? If so, usual treatment of wd40 or teflon spray on all hinges and lock mechs/ plastic parts.. Quote
Guest MATT Posted January 3, 2005 Report Posted January 3, 2005 well the squeak seems to come from just behind the drivers door, where it meets the pillar, also the rear door creeks sometimes when stress is introduced. Ive also noticed that the rear doors don't shut as easily as the front.I have tried WD40 before, put was no help. Quote
davec Posted January 5, 2005 Report Posted January 5, 2005 are the rear doors overtightened when they shut or misaligned,mine went in for creaking rear door under warranty and was fixed 'only needed adjusting'Mind you its got a rattle in door now in on Friaday with headlamp wash prob as well Quote
Guest MATT Posted January 5, 2005 Report Posted January 5, 2005 are the rear doors overtightened when they shut or misaligned when you shut them they don Quote
davec Posted January 7, 2005 Report Posted January 7, 2005 Torx screws in keep plate,the hinges are welded on aim for a good line round the shuts and not too tight,Ford used to do cockpit spray which i had to use to stop hood creaking on XR3 glorified WD40 i should think Quote
Guest MATT Posted January 7, 2005 Report Posted January 7, 2005 ok, will try, but last time i tried they were that tight i couldn Quote

Proved by the wife holding door slightly open as I drove along. Took it back to Ford who agreed that the noise would drive one mad. And they fixed it! Just silicone grease required on all seals where the doorframe makes contact. Love the galaxy, expecially after all the serious problems i had with an espace, just that I have never had a car with so many transitory rattles from seats, dashboard etc. One rattle in particular is cured by driving with the glovebox open.

djgary Posted August 5, 2009 Report Posted August 5, 2009 the most annoying thing for me is the seat belt alarm, it drives me flaming mad. i tow with my galaxy and whenever i remove the belt to reverse the caravan the bloodly alarm starts going off the reversing alarm starts going off and it drives me mad. i had the same thing with our old S max but the dealer switched off the seatbelt alarm for me however they have refused to do it on the galaxy saying ford have instructed them not to do it anymore. the other thing is squeeking doors but i cure this with an application of silicone spray on the door seals every few month. and why does a top of the range galaxy not come with electric folding mirrors ? its really not acceptable when citroen and others fit to the middle range cars upwards. other than the above the car is fantastic and tows briliantly.
