- my wife does not like being called and air bag and told me to tell you so.

I think there are some articles on door de-trimming at renntech that I was planning on following. Is there something special required to deactivate the airbag?

Oh wait, sorry Tim, I didn't mean to call yo' mama an airbag.

See Malakas, I knew you shouldn't have called his wife an air bag! Now look at the trouble you started!

I cleaned out my door compartment and all the rattling and buzzing stopped.... could it be that simple.

zroadhouse

Must have cleaned out Tim at the same time. We finally know the real reason for the move to the Honda.

gota911

Yup, being out of work for an extended period of time will certainly clean out the bank account....

zroadhouse

Indeed. All kidding aside, I hope you find work soon.

I found one of the sources of buzzing. There was about $2 in change in the area just forward of the shift assembly under the airbag sensor. Unfortunately some of it was too far forward to retrieve -- even with a straw with duct tape on the end. Still, hopefully this will remove one of my rattles.

The tech also mentioned that he secured the screw in the passenger door when he replaced the window regulator. Guess that just leaves the buzz in the driver's side door.

Not too bad!

Malakas

Man, I can't believe Im late with the yo mamma insults... now it's just too late for a come-back... esp after all of the job talk. I hope you found some gainful employment Tim.

Zroadhouse, so whats the plan with the driver's door -- mine is driving me crazy!!

gota911

Thanks guys!

Unfortunately, still unemployed and still looking!

No kidding about that. I lost my job about a year ago and I am still looking in my engineering field. I figure I have to the end of summer (maybe) then its game over for me. I even took a job in a warehouse just to have some money coming in. Talk about a pay cut! I have lost count how many resumes I sent out. Still have my C4 but only because I can not find local buyer.

I know how you feel and I wish you the best.

RAC,

Man, over a year? That really sucks! Have you checked out the Jobs Wanted - Help Needed Forum here on Rennlist? There was a post there for some engineering work.
I hope you find something soon!

Thank you for the tip I did not know the section was there. Also I was able to get a lead from it. Thanks!

Keep your chin up gota911.

gota911

Good! I thought there was something there for engineers. Hope the lead pans out for you.

I am trying to do just that.

Just a thought on door rattle. I had a noise from one door, and it turned out to be the trim on the inside curved handle. When I squeezed it it went away. If you are lucky enough that this is all it is, then a piece of rubber (I use blown road bike inner tubes) or black felt will fix it.

I have 3 annoying rattles:

Passenger door: Seems to be coming from the lid to the door map box (or whatever it's called). When I press down on the lid, it stops. This one drives me INSANE. Will dismantle the lid and some point, if I can figure out how to get it off. (Does anyone know how?)

Rattle in dashboard panel adjacent to the passenger side A-pillar. I stuffed a small rubber gasket into the crack and the rattle stopped. A bit unsightly but effective.

Rattle in the area of the shifter turned out to be the spare change I keep in the ashtray for parking meters. It starts to rattle occasionally; a short, swift knock on the ashtray lid settles it down.

Rattles in a luxury car are one of my pet peeves and the 996's many plastic interior components don't help.
