Not a major issue but when cruising on motorways etc, if the stereo is not on and the wife is not prattling away :-X, I realise just how smooth and quite the car is bar one thing the plastic door lock buttons on the inside rattle slightly and annoy me a bit as all the rest of the trim does not make a sound.
Anyone got a simple solutions
Like I say a very minor issue compared with the work still outstanding on the car!
-
Remove the pin and wrap two turns (no more than two) of insulating tape at the bottom part.
Will stop rattling
-
Forgot to mention.
Pin is removed by orying outwards the red plastic on the lower part. Take a small flat screwdriver on pry the upper side of red plastic out.
It should open and you should be able to remove the pin

Thank you will have a go soon :y

i need to do this also.. will keep you posted :)

Me to, only passenger door though. Think its something to do with how they(you know who) ;) shut doors. My better half either slams it so hard the speaker nearly pops out or is so gentle it doesnt even catch.
Guess it depends on how annoying ive been that day
;D ;D ;D
Gonna do the tape trick tommorow :y
-
I had rattling pins on mine and previous owner had done the tape, by the pin itself is the doorcard loose I.e you can pull it up slightly? This is what had happened to mine took doorcard off and found that the plastic strip which holds the clips had come unstuck, stuck it back down took tape off of pin refitted doorcard and hey presto no rattle
:y
-
All four of mine rattle, lock the doors and only one rattles. Tried the tape idea on my old car, found one layer of tape to be too much and it dislodged itself. Had an idea to bend the rod the button sits on so as to take out the play, but that means taking the door card off and risking the pastiche strip braking off as they sometimes do. :-/
-
Mine did that too. I bought some self adhesive velcro strips and just used the soft fluffy part by cutting it to the same width as the pin by about 15mm long.With the pin up ,Peel off the back, push the pin towards the glass (it only moves just enough to get the strip in) and slide the strip down into the pin slot till its flush with the top of the door panel.Pull the pin back so that the self adhesive sticks to the panel insert and hey presto , no more rattles. I did mine about a year ago and its still perfect. hth

Hmmm, mine are at 90 degrees to the top of the door, (just been out to check.) Yours do seem to be slanted. ::)
-
and the drivers one is only half way out(or in) when the door is unlocked. i can't ge the red cap out and make it unrattle
-
Boditza looks like you'll have to take the door card off
-
i tryed it once and i didnt succeded. removed all the screws, all sockets but when i tryed to pull it up it seemed like it was stuck on the upper part at the window. i don't know how to remove the side mirror triangle also; i read on the guide that by removing that the job becomes easyer. and advice is welcome
-
No need to remove the window triangle.
It is normal that it is stuck on window part cause there are metal pins that hold the door card to the metal of the door.
Actually the pins hold the rubber strip that is glued to the door card
Try to pry it out with th screwdriver.
The rubber strip will probably fall off in the process but you can glue it back on
-
its already ripped from the door card... the card sits 1 cm apart from the window. how will i pry it out?? from the side? use the door card as a leverage?? i have a verry bad habbit in breaking things so i'm sorry for the annoying questions :)
-
You removed all the screews, including the one near the tweeter?
-
all of them... printed the guide and folowed exactly.. with pics..
-
What part of the door card is stuck?
-
the upper part... where that part usualy brakes.. it seemed like it was stuck in that
-
That is strange since there is nothing there that can stuck onto something especially if the rubber strip next to window is loose from the door card.
-
its not completely loose... only half.. the door lock half is, th efront is still sticked onto it :)
-
Then pry it out with the screwdriver or rather try pushing the whole door card from the bottom up (even carefully hitiing it from the bottom up).
Rubber strip is connected to the door card but never mind if it comes of it can be glued back on (glue is holdin it).
The only thing keeping the door card on the the door should be that rubber strip if all screws are removed.
-
wow popular problem! I have just lived with it for 4 years but found it annoying
-
i'll get my hands on it tomorow and try it again... my old astra ratled but eventualy stopped.. dunno why but i never asked =))
