Hi all,
For the past few months, I've had a bit of a rattle coming from the rear
passenger-side door, seeming to originate from just behind the door
latch. It's more of a tappity-tap-tap-tap kind of a rapping sound, but
I'm hoping that possibly somebody here might've had their first gen SHO
start rattling around the same area, and possibly might've found a
solution, and be willing to share it...
So far I've pulled my backseat out (surprisingly easy, except that I've
got to find a place to store it until I've solved the rattle), adjusted
the door hinges, pulled out some interior plastic molding around the
rear-corner window, and I've pushed and smacked just about anything I
can access from inside the trunk and up on the package tray.
All to no avail. At least, nothing's helped with the rattle-- the car
does look better having both passenger-side doors aligned the same, though.
I'm continuing to search for things that might rattle, but really, I'm
at a loss.
Argh! Stupid car! Can't abandon her quite yet-- today my boss was
trying to convince me to buy an older Jaguar, or a newer Mustang SVT...
Tempting... Stupid rattle! Maybe I'll look into buying a newer SHO,
maybe a gen 3 with the V8... ooooohhhh....
Regards,
