Hey gang, curious if this has happened to anybody else. Fortunately, it only happens twice (in Marfa, TX), when car sat outside, in the cold. And both times just to go to a restaurant, fortunately. The racket was unbelievable. Lowering the window just a little bit stopped it completely, so that's what I had to do. It'd had driven me NUTS if it had done it for the 800 miles left I had on that trip. Heck, even for 10 miles. Ha ha. Has this happened to anybody else?
At any rate, I need to remove the door panel for the driver's door to fix a super annoying rattle of the crappy plastic piece above the door armrest, which is constant now. So I want to fix that stupid 'window' rattle too, now that the panel will be off. And any other possible source of noise, so need a list of possible rattles folks .
1. Insert above door armrest. Plastic rivets are not tight enough, allowing those rattles. Will fix it by adding 'shims' somewhere, somehow, so there's no more play. Should be simple enough, but just have to figure out how, once I have the panel out.
2. Racket with window up and cold outside. No idea what it is, but it should be related to having the window all the way up, so what could it be? I'm going to have to break the moisture barrier to get in there, but hope I can put it back the same way it was before. We'll see. Hopefully folks who have removed the door panel already can make suggestions what to do in there. Window is tight, and no noise except when everything is cold, so no idea what I'm dealing with there.
3. Add anything else to the list . Thank you guys.
