Door cards

[saxo1980]

Hi n I noticed that my car has now got an horrible rattle coming from doors 3 ov them and it driveing me insane
I thought I fixed it but made more mess wacking silicone down the door card now that ain't worked bright idea I guess
it's now sending me insane

Do I need to buy new door clips and were do I get these
Or do I need new door cards
Cos am actually going to rip them out and drive with none in soon

It's like someone hittinng you with an wooden spoon every 3 seconds top of ya head dunno how people can stand the rattle noise my god
I even put rubber down were the lock pops up and still dam thing rattles like

Am already crazy you lot will probs end up watching me on TV the one who flow over the cuckoo's nest soon

Silicone and door cards? lol....

Dont bodge it.

Take the card off, see if the actual CARD is ****ed, and if so you can either buy a brand new one for £90 odd, or find a decent 2nd hand one.

Good luck with the latter option, most people cant remove them without cracking the fragile little welded rivet things. (takes much practice)

All the clips are available new, but be prepared, they are STIFF.

When re-fitting, NEVER slam the outside of the bucket bit at the front, put your hand in and press from INSIDE, otherwise you just break the plastic where its fitted together at the back.

I think a lot of people do this, and probably dont even realise they are actually breaking their door-cards.

If you have ever experienced a new door card (which comes with all the fittings), it is quite something, SO tight to the door, rattle free, and quite an improvement. Depends if you think its worth ~£90 for a new one.

HERE is the how to. Shows locations and type of clips etc. the one at the top right hand corner (of drivers side) and top left corner (passenger side) were the ones I had most difficulty with, and cause of my rattling.

Another source of rattle could be the door pins. I also had a rattle on my rear doors caused by the waist rail trim crumbling away (the black edge between the card and window). Only way to fix that rattle was to replace the trim.

Hi, I had the same, it was the door pins, I pulled the pin up slightly and wrapped some clear vinyl (off cuts from a local vehicle sign writer) around the part that goes through the door card, job done no more rattles 😉

I had the same problem but was resolved as above but with the use of heat shrink after trying a few different things including straws

It could be rattly window syndrome perhaps? The glass against the rubber seals can often make a dreadful racket.

Unfortunately I don't have a solution to solve this, but I'm sure someone here will.
