The same tricks can be used for other rubber based suspension components (e.g., A-arm bushings). Q: Something in my door rattles?
• First make sure it’s not a screw which is loose (lots hidden away). If that’s not the case then take the door panel off and check all the screws inside. Tighten, use Loctite, possibly use foam and felt to prevent components from banging against each other. Some recommend installing a sound deadening material such as Dynamat ™. Before putting the door panel back, you may want to use some foam strips (like the window air seals) to provide some spacing for the snaps. While you are at it, clean the drain holes and lube the lock & window mechanism. • How should I take care of my car’s exterior? What products to use? • Wash on a regular basis. First, hose down car, don’t aim at locks, gas cap, etc. Also hose down the radiator & underside of the car. Use one of the available car wash products in a bucket & sponge down car. (All this to be done in the shade). I have tried several types of shampoo, like the RainDance, dislike the Meguire’s shampoo, others like Blue Coral. Other suggestions
