Doors vibrating at speed

[boucherie]

i've noticed that when driving around 70mph the drivers door sounds like they are not hung rite as you can hear them rattle around, but if you open the window its fine. Obviously its an air pressure thing on the doors, so is there anything that can be done to remedy this, with deflectors or ne seals etc.
cheers

...

could be the actual glass itself shaking

 

[boucherie]

nah its not the glass as you can physically see the door moving backward and forwards, plus when the window is open it doesnt do it

Is the door shutting properly? When it's shut can you move it if you grab the arm rest bit and push/pull it? If you can, you could maybe adjust the striker plate abit to see if it tightens it up at all.

wind your window down, then lean on the top of the door and bend it in a bit, sorted.

As far as I was aware, all GTIRs (well most of them) do it......you can buy wind deflectors for the doors or just open the sunroof like i used to do.
Its someyjing to do with the design of the doors.....altho 70 mph does seem a little low for them to rattle, mine used to do it as I approached 100mph.
What you have to remember that apart from the floorpan...the rest of the GTIR body was designed to pootle around town and pick up shopping

THIS IS A HIJAK!!! :shock:
Do the wind deflectors also stop the wind noise at speed? Or do I have to keep using my right arm to hold my door to my car??? :shock: :lol: :?:

 

[boucherie]

So the next question is has anyone got these wind deflectors fitted and if so, can they post a pic, where did they get them & how much were they??

I've got them, standard Nissan parts that were on the car when I got it. They are the purpley plastic things in the pictures below. They don't stop my doors rattling and letting in a gale at 80'ish tho

Adjust the door and bend it thats the way to do it, mine are fine all the way to 150 mph but they are nice and tight. :lol:
