1157jonboy Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Hi I have a 2007 3 door fiesta style and I’ve just noticed a really annoying tapping/rattling sound mainly above 50mph on the motorway, coming from drivers door area. I took the door card off and the glass out, loosened the inner door card to see behind it today but couldn’t see anything loose or touching the glass or the inside of the door. It’s like a quick constant tapping noise but it’s hard to locate whether it’s coming from the front middle or back of the door it’s doing my head in, I’ve pushed the glass back when going along to see if it makes any difference but it doesn’t. It’s not really noticeable below 40mph. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin#95 Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 I have a 4 door mk6 2004 and had both black plastic trims between the front and rear doors started coming loose and flapping when doing 50mph. They are glued on with hard epoxy resin and this starts to break leaving the top parts loose, which catch the wind. I have peeled them off and stuck them back on with white flexible glue filler. Grab the top of the plastic trim and pull it to see if it is loose. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately the rattle is still there so I’m back to square 1! I thought that was gonna be the problem but it’s not. Door cards inner & outer off again tomorrow, I’ll have another look.......

Right problem solved. Just before I was gonna take the door cards off for a second time I noticed the long black plastic trim along the lower half of the door was loose at the front. I put some black roofing sealant (that’s all I had left at the time) along the edges of the trim and the noise has gone! What a result. Thanks Ian Lanc, don’t know what I would have done without your input! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
