I'm desperate to get to the bottom of this on the CDT with the door latches though. I'm not sure if sound proofing foam inside the door card will help at this point. I was hoping opinions have moved on with this, and there was a more successful remedy doing the rounds on here
My dash buzzes stopped when I changed the pastic dash for a real PPD wood one. The buzz behind the clock was particularly irritating beforehand

Having a PPD conny now I have noticed how much quietier and rattle free she is compared to my Project Drive diesel.

I would go as far as to say that haemorroids would be less of an irritation

I'd stick with the buzz behind the clock...

Our car has a really irritating buzz/rattle at about 1500 rpm, I cant quite place the sound as it appears to move around Even Bob (Flying Banana) couldn't place the noise when he was a passenger in her, I'm probably going to end up taking the dash out and putting foam on everything behind it, plus putting heat shrink on the locks as well
