yesterday i went for a 200 mile blast round some of northumberlands finest roads. a great drive again let down by rattles and interior squeaks and creaks.

well today i decided to tackle a rattle in the passenger front door when music is playing - doorcard off, music played and it seems to be coming from the electric window motor

motor removed, wrapped in felt tape and refitted, all 6 plugs backed with felt tape

door card refitted and it seems ALOT better (touch wood)



i have had creaks and groans etc from the passenger side since new. the b pillar squeak i think i may have cured by peeling the rubber back and squirting a load of rubber detailer in there

now by pushing on the panel it no longer sqeaks so im hoping it may have resolved it.

i wonder if the front seat are squeak is a similar thing actually coming from the door/dash area.

Don't think your passenger door could be any worse than mine when I showed you it.
Dealer failed twice to fix it.
One day your going to have to show me how to dismantle this car and what to use to try and fix the rattles.

the worst rattle I've got is from the drivers side B pillar that I need to look at

Had this problem with mine. Turned out to be the door catch that required adjustment and loads of white grease into the mechanism to take out the play. Dealer fix. Not sure how long the grease will stop the rattles though!!
