Default Re: Why do the doors sound so cheap?

Hi there,

1. The power window motors are fixed with 3 pop rivets. Check if they are tight. If not, the doors tends to rattle. Especially if the windows are down. Also check the pop rivets of the airbags.
2. Check if the screws of the door check arm are loosened. If they are loose it sounds like something cracks if you close the door.
3. Check if the door interior is complete. Over here in germany some cars got new doors because of rust problems. Sometimes the doors were not properly assembled by the mechanics. Often the rinsible fabric is loosen, or there's no. So you'll get wind noise.
4. If the doors cards make a rusting sound, you can damopen then. For example with isobutyl mats...

Regards
Markus
