Hi all, might sound daft but i've got a creaking and rattling sound coming from either the drivers door or the panel between the drivers door and the side window

Its only noticable when the road is uneven or going over a bump. I've had a look under the panels but cant seem to spot anything,anyone had similar noises as its starting to get on my wick,would be grateful for any advice

Thanks

Hi,during the hot spell we had recently i noticed this problem more,but now its cooler and wet i cant hear these creaks so much at all

, i wonder if its the plastic expanding and prehaps the panels moving against each other

,still got the odd rattle but 'hey' small price to pay compared to the driving experience

Hi,
I had something similar. In my case I fixed it by putting that white silicon grease on the door locking mechanism.

Hi,
Halfords do it, it's the 3 in 1 professional white silicon grease in a spray can. Put it into the locking mechanism in the door, not on the catch on the pillar or you'll get it over yourself....
