the old rattler

[pushkin]

As is the way with defender doors mine rattle when shut, especially the drivers. Sounds like the glass rattling in the frame, doesn't matter whether the window is up or down - but it does sound worse when down. Does anyone have tips on repairing/strengthening the window frames to reduce the sound and protect the glass a bit ? Any mini projects done on this kind of thing ?
Thanks

Hi pushkin

When I hold my knee against the door my quietens by a couple of dB's.

Keep meaning to have a look inside the door to see if I can fix it for good.

It will be the 'Bailey' channel. U shaped bit of steel with felt/rubber on the inside that the glass slides up n down on. Did mine a while back. It just screws into the steel door frame. Most rubber shops sell it.

I agree, sounds like the Bailey channel is the culprit. If you cannot get hold of a replacement, an i.v.-drip line cut open lengthwise and squeezed into the gap will work wonder. Lasted a few years on my truck. Now it's time for a replacement again, though.

Thanks Boof Ed, are there different sizes available and if so what size did you use ?

Where did you get hold of some ? Have rang around a few places here in Melb but no one seems to have it : /
