    Default Creaking, rattle in passenger's front door...

    I have developed a rattle or creak in the passenger's side front door, never had a rattle in the VX SS until now it has been rock solid, I mainly hear it on a bumpy road, or have heard a bit of a creak from the door when going in a steep angled driveway, it was never there before, it has just started.
    I don't really want to pull off the door skin as I am not sure where it is coming from, thought it might be the door moving on it's rubber seals, I can't replicate it when stationary, I have tapped, thumped, pushed, prodded and every thing is quiet, any one had a similar squeak/creak/rattle from the passenger's door and what was the fix? Car has only done 67,000 km and is as tight as a drum apart from this.

    I found that my VT clubby drivers window creaks, if i open the door and flex the top it does it. Only did it since spraying silicon down the window rubber to make it slide easier (damn it).

    Its settled down now but previous to that i had a lot of body creaks. In the end i tightened the body plates under the car, front quarter panel bolts, misc bolts in engine bay firewall and near front door.

    Problem solved, I did take it to a mechanic and he had 3 goes and could not fix it, guess it takes an electrician to fix these problemd

    My drivers door squeeks (and probably the others too I just don't hear those) I put it down to the fact that I regularly Armour-all these rubbers to preserve them. I think the Armour-all may cause them to squeek against the door.
    'Ah well, I suppose it had to come to this.'
