When I have the windows down and the targas off, When I shut the drivers side door it sounds awful!!

a bit like putting the lid on an old style steel dustbin.

Embarrassing when people are about, sounds cr*p.

Is there a fix?

Seems a lot better when the window is fully closed though?

Think it's the window gubbins rattling in the frame. You should hear it when you have the door card off......

 

Would like to know if there's a fix too.

There must be a fix for this!

I can't imagine Nissan designing something as poor as a noisy door.

Looks like I am on a mission now, door card will be off later today for some serious investigation and if I find anything relevant I'll post it.

Nice one I'd take mine off aswell but I'm taking it to the dyno later and I don't really wanna turn up with the car in bits lol

Thanks for the link 300 zedx, Really useful.

I read it through a few times so as to familiarise myself with the sequence of events and then took the door apart.

There I found 3 rollers and their respective rails, to my surprise all 3 were in tack, all I could find was a lot of play between the roller and the rail itself, I can only assume that they are well worn and replacing them with new will do the job.

As a temporary measure, I oiled and greased everything possible while I was in there and will be ordering the new rollers soon.

Does not look like an easy job though.

A couple of things that I did learn were, I was able to adjust the height at which the window stopped by way of lowering a dead stop a tad, (it was catching the top edge slightly making it difficult to shut the door)

and secondly, I was able to adjust and increase the sideways contact pressure of the glass to the door rubber.

I may not have been able to solve the rattle when the window is down, but it has made a big difference to the ease of closing the door whilst the glass is raised, sounds great.

Also I hope it will have solved the slight leak and wind noise, certainly shuts better against the door seal now.
