Sounds as if the door hinge and/or pin needs to be replaced.

Also a lot of times the roller on the lower hinge makes a popping sound as you open and close the door if it's worn. If thats the case it's too late for grease but it's never too late to purchase a new roller and pin and make your 3rd gen like new again. And after you install that, go ahead and throw some grease on it ... and everything else that needs a little lube every now and then.

I think putting grease will you...If not, that's the time you will need to seek some help...
