Rattly Drivers Door

[skymaster]

My drivers door is rattling, very annoying. Noise stops as soon as you open door (while driving)... Does anyone have access to an online photo guide on how to take the internal panel off? :zx11:

Kind of feels like it's making a creaking noise in coordination with the flexing and movement of the bodywork.

Mine did the same but it was the door rubbers that were creaking and groaning but it sounded like a rattle in the door.
I used Gummi Pflege Stiff rubber care stick and it cured the problem.

I might try this. Is it the Sonax or the 1Z (Einszett) one by any chance? Just looking on eBay and Amazon.

If you send me a PM on fri or sat I will send you details on how to take the door off. It's on my other computer and I'm away from home at the moment.

I had this issue! Tried everything! Silicone spray on the seals, door trim, transpires it was a faulty drivers side door lock mechanism. Swapped by Audi under warranty, perfect since then with no squeaks or squeals or rattles. It may also be worth investigating that as a probable cause.

u just need silicone spray.

I've just about fixed mine. Gummi Pflege as above, plus moving the striker.

Moving my striker upwards seemed to help for some reason - looking at the marks in the grease on the door mechanism, it looked like it had been too low before.

I still hear it occasionally, but only when driving slowly on a bumpy surface.
