DeLorean Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 I have a '73 Z that seems to have a loose passenger door because any bump I go over the door squeaks and rattles pretty bad. It has been getting progressively worse the last few months and I do not see anything blatantly wrong with the door. Does anyone have any ideas for this? Would the group buy dovetails do anything? I did search around but I didn't find anything that mentions this issue. I can pull the passenger door from the drivers seat and feel that it has a bit of play. Given that Baltimore has #$&* for roads, I am getting a little worried about this issue. Would be fun though if the door suddenly fell off...already happened once with my steering wheel...

Pharaohabq Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 hehe I think I'd pay more attention to the steering wheel rather than the door... Really though, You can of course check all the bolts that hold the door on itself. But only tighten and/or loosen one bolt at a time since they also help with the door alignment. Likely the rattling is actually something inside the door. The Latch, or the window mech, or maybe a speaker. There could also be old glass in there if the window was ever broken. It's really hard to say much more unless you post us some pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
