door is rattling and driving me CRAZY..can\'t figure it out
Now that there is some interior parts back inside the truck, my road noise has gotten a bit quieter, and I can hear every squeek and rattle. My drivers side door is rattling BAD...I'm going to try to describe it, so bear with me.
When you open the door, on the truck itself is the little rod that sticks out that the door actually latches too, well right there...its jumping on it. My door is shut tight, wont pull out or push shut or anything like that but when I hit a bump, it jumps up and down. These are my new doors,(reused all the parts inside the door..) and I rechecked the interior latch on the door to make sure it was in the right spot, and all my door bolts are tight, everything lines up correctly, etc.. however when I was playing with the latch thingy in the door, where the sticker would be telling you the GVW etc.. on a new rig, that latch thing has some play in it..the actual mechanism that clamps when you shut the door. Is there some way to get rid of that, or am I going to have to try to find one? The reason I know this is the problem, when I drive slow enough to "lay on the door" with my left arm, side, it won't rattle, only when I let go of the door. It's really buggin me...am I doomed or is there some way to firm up that latch? Maybe a spring or something inside it that could be bad? I don't know, that's why I'm askin you!
Thanks guys!
