Rattle Elimination

Foreign objects such as nuts, bolts or small pieces of body deadener, can cause rattles in the door wells, pillars and quarter panels of the vehicle. Door wells can be checked by carefully striking the underside of the door with a rubber mallet.

All bolts and screws should be inspected periodically. Check bolts and screws located on assemblies such as the doors, hood (16612) and luggage compartment door (40110) . If this does not eliminate the rattles, the concern may be caused by misalignment. In this case, follow the adjustment and alignment procedures for these assemblies.

Rattles and squeaks are sometimes caused by weatherstripping and anti-squeak material that has slipped out of position. Apply additional cement or other adhesive.
