Door close noise

Gholdwayne · Post by **Gholdwayne** » Fri Aug 21, 2009 12:27 am

Havent found a topic on the forum after searches so ill just post...

Anyway, might not be a problem to some or most of you guys, but it bothers me, when i close my doors, it makes a big bang where that vibration gets transferred to the bonnet and vibrates the bonnet a bit, now iv seen how another fto's door close and it doesnt make a loud bang at all, like its cushioned or something, and the boot as well, when i close it it makes that big 'metal to metal' bang sound, iv seen fto videos where the guy closed the boot and it sounds more quiet, again sounds cushioned...

So does anyone know of a solution or a possible solution to this ?

Cheers!

There are two rubber stoppers on your boot lid, one on either side (lift the boot lid up and look at the underside of it.) They can be twisted to unscrew, to be further out, or screw in. Take a look and unscrew them a little, to the left, on both sides, then try closing the boot. See how that sounds.

As for the doors, I'm guessing there would be some rubber stoppers or surrounds you'd be missing there as well.

well the one at the boot worked nicely, i guess ill just cut a piece of rubber and find a way to stick it on top of the existing rubber stopper on the doors.... and that'll be my DIY: Door and Boot closing noise fix hahaha.. i wish.

Ive sikaflexed the bonnet and boot as well (filled all the joins between the subframe and the skin). That did a pretty good job at removing those tinny vibration noises.
