Both of my rear doors are difficult to close and make a very loud "Creaking" noise. I lubricated all hinge points I could see with WD-40 and very little change and now worse. The front doors open/close with no problem in comparison. I don not think it is the hinges, but the small metal bar that attaches to the body and extends through the rear door opening. Help

Are you refering to the stopper? It is a part that is designed to hold the door at different points?

Yes, I am referring to the stopper. However, it is only a straight bar and does not have and indentations/curver where the stops would occur. It is same color as vehicle but with rust coloration on the sides.
