Hello Zedders,

 

Anyone won a battle with their interior creaks and rattles? Mine seem to be more from the rear end of the Z and things just sound lose from a few places. Got meisters on and ride is harsh and I feel everything the car goes over. Going to look into loosening the suspension up a little but for interior, I'm getting ideas in my head to bother with stripping the whole interior and sticking some kinda foam for padding behind every panel and get everything tightly fitted on. Also getting to a point where I want to hear as less as possible from outside. Just read up on window rattles as I have that too.

 

Anyone done such thing? Any ideas what stuff would be good for padding?

 

Many thanks :)

Have you checked that all the screws and everything are in their correct place? Most Zs have had their interiors removed and many aren't put back the way they came out. There are a ton of different fasteners. Anti-rattle tape between surfaces helps too.

Good point that. Mine is definitely in that state. Not put back on the way they came off for leathering in the past by whoever done it. Also remember noticing the door card clip on fasteners broken and missing at a few points.

 

Researching on lessening the gaps between panels and bodywork at present...

Sounds like you've found your problem. :) Be methodical about it, replace any broken or missing fastenings and make sure things are aligned. Should all help. :)
