This is just one of a series of videos I will be putting together showing the process I have been using for over 27 years in finding and repairing door panel rattles. Noises in brand new cars creep up and can be so annoying making you feel that your hard earned money bought you nothing but a piece of junk. Unfortunately tolerances and mass manufacturing are to blame for these issues and the lack of QC but do not worry because there is a simple solution that you can do on your own with the simple materials I outline in this video. Today we demonstrate on a 2017 Infiniti Q50 S Red Sport 400. Do not waste your time with dealership visits they will not take the time to do this protocol so I suggest you do it on your own or find a reputable custom car shop near you who can handle it.
Make sure you buy enough sound mat because you do not want to remove your panels to find out you will run out and can not complete your job.

finally a guy that actually knows what he is talking about when it comes to car rattles. Thank you so much. Huge thumbs up!
why only the owner hear any noises... people think one is crazy .
Because you are the one driving it daily.
😂
👌🏾👌🏾
in some cases even the owner doesn't hear the noises.
i have a friend with a car with lots of rattles and I even asked if those doesn't bother him.. and guess what, he didn't even notice the noises.
conslusion: perception differs and some are more sensible or not
Hahahaha..been there bro🤣
Exactly what I was looking for to cure the door rattles in my 2001 Tacoma . I despise rattles...and now I can eradicate them thanks to you!
its been two years, did you end up doing it? I have a 98 4runner I want to do
@@Tanner731 yep. I did do it. In fact I posted about it here two years ago right below. It did make a difference. Still pretty good two years later. Except the damn lock button vibrates when locked. Haven’t messed with it yet though.
@@InfiniteRiffs nice, bet you can put some felt or foam around the door lock to dampen it. think thats going to be a project for my 4runner soon
@@Tanner731 thanks. I was thinking of doing something like that. And yeah it’s a fun little project to do that has nice results, even though you don’t actually see all the work. Just takes time and patience.
This is the only video I watch without skipping thanks man finally some real car guy showing us how
I just did the doors on my F80 Bmw M3 using window weld on the clips and Dynamat for isolation. Sooo much better! I am enjoying the car way more without the annoying door rattles. Highly recommend this process!
Thank you for this video. It helped eliminate the noises from my driver side door panel on a 2009 Honda Fit. As a side note, I added Kilmat to the metal door. On the removable panel, I applied most of the techniques that were recommended in this video. I used the same tacky gummy black adhesive that I removed from the plastic sheet to deaden and "glue" in place the red plastic clips on the panel and it worked. All the red clips stayed in place and were no longer loose. Will repeat on the passenger door.
bro you are putting gold info out, subscribed right away !!!!
Incredible! Thanks a lot, you gave me confidence that this could be done by myself. amazing work! Land rover discovery 4, 2009 harmon kardon, logic 7, struggling bad.
Thank you for the fantastic demo so thorough
Appreciate your effort and your passion
Great video, I've been following your channel for quite some time mostly because of the Giulia QV but never expected to find a video that would give me an answer to my issues with rattling.
I own an Alfa Romeo Giulietta, and I have rattling noise from the passenger seat door panel. I've noticed that some of the clips are not actually making a good contact so after seeing your video I now have a clear idea of what's the cause.
Regards from Athens, Greece
This video is gold-thank you
Wow, you make it look easy. I will be doing my Q50 now.
MAN! I came here because my driver side is driving me insane! And it is too a q50s! So lucky to find this video. Thank you so much, I'm doing this this weekend
I just bought a new 2022 Camry and low and behold the daggon driver's side panel is rattling when I have the music on. Your video is exactly what I was looking for. SOOOO helpful and something I am going to try. THANK YOU!
You sir are a car fanatic, me too Thanks for the tips and I've shared on Facebook for other car guys who really like thier car to be quiet.
Huge Thanks
thanks glad this video helped you out and thanks for sharing. Much more DIY content on the channel check it out.
I’m using solutions you’ve brought up here like 3M Window Weld, dynomat and then additionally, never-dry modeling clay (made video on that) for lightly damaged (cracked) panels. I have an X6 and oh boy! Noisy AF! Not anymore.
Great video, i followed your directions to a T on my Q50 and all rattles are gone even rattles i heard from outside the car are gone. Starting to really appreciate the 15 Bose speaker system again. Thanks.
glad this video helped and enjoy the audio system now/
Well I applied this method to my 2001 Tacoma door panels, which were rattling and squeaking. Pretty simple process, just takes a little time. And he wasn't kidding about the clips rattling around in the door panel. They don't rattle after using the window weld!
You don't know it, but you are my best friend...!!!!
My wife absolutely hates my fixation on eliminating even the tiniest noise in my truck!!!
I even ride now fatter tires: 285/70 17 Michelins and Bilsteins with neoprene cushions between the several suspension parts and joints.
Greetings from Monterrey, México
Thanks for your informative video!!!
REALLY helpful!!. Thanks
Great video. Need to do this on my GX470. What’s the difference between the 80 mil sound deadener and the dynapad? Do you recommend getting both? Also, so it’s better to put the sound deadener directly on the plastic? I always thought it was meant for directly on metal.
Wow great video. I am obsessed with my rattling jeep. And my door panels are a big culprit. This is gold. Thank you so much.
Glad it was helpful!
awesome video thanks Man!!
Great advice. The rattles in my BMW i3 make it sound like a cheap junker. Will definitely use these techniques. Thanks!
thanks for input !!
Good video.. thanks
Nice vedio.....love from India....keep it up
Great video! I'm applying kilmat to all four doors of my 2018 Toyota Corolla iM so I'll do the same with the clips. Do you have any videos on finding and fixing seat rattles?
This channel is severely underrated.
Roger Hu thanks help spread the word, just started it few weeks back
Set the camera lower so we can see what your doing .
Yeah seriously. As an entire noob to this watching, he's sitting there like "You're gonna put a little bit of this over there, and then put some of it in here" and I'm just like "Over where? Where is here? I CAN'T SEE WHAT YOU'RE DOING BECAUSE IT'S OFF CAMERA!!" lol
Hi, great video and advice. I'm suffering bad with my mk7 fiesta with the rattling. I thought at 1st it was my tweeter's blown so I replaced them but still bad rattling. 😮 So I'm going to give this method a go later on. Just wondering, do I need to put any deading sheet behind the speaker itself? Many thanks.
Thanks man..I thought I just got the One volvo v40 with a cracking door. Now I know is common on premium brands and the best...fixable!
You saved my life, I was that close to give up my car. Now it is as good as new. Thank you
so glad this video helped you out, happy motoring noise free now
2 Questions:
1) Does using the window weld on the door side of the door panel clip (shown at 19:54 of your video) make it harder to take off the door if I need to remove it again? I understand using the WW on the panel side of the clip, that isn't meant to come off...but the clip is supposed to pull away from the door and it seems like the WW will cause this to be more difficult.
2) Do you recommend putting some window weld along the top channel that slides over the door near the window slot? I have a Toyota Sienna and the door panel hangs on the edge and I suspect it rattles around on that surface, but much like question #1, I am concerned that using the WW on that junction will cause the door panel to be difficult to remove from the door later.
Did all mine with blue tack works a treat
Commenting for algorithm boost. Excellent vid
Nice vid man. Ahh u should make video how to sound deadening door shut. Have different types of sound deadening but just dont know where to put them to make door shut quiet
Awesome video
Thank you. I also have a door rattle caused by my dealership last time when they try to fix a window issue. Do you think it’s better for me to bring it back to them and risk something else going wrong. Or just pay out of pocket at a body shop. Do body shops even do things like this?
Love it and informative video i am from india
great video man, awesome
thanks for watching glad it helped. AF
See you've listed/linked Dynamat as well as Noico sound deadeners... do they have different applications or just two options for the same application?
Any advantage to getting the thicker 150mil Noico? It's cheaper than the 80mil on Amazon right now. (Thank you for this explanation - new 2020 Subaru WRX driver side door is buzzing from certain bass frequencies even at low volume. Ordered Tesa Tape for the wires, will get the Noico wetsuit material for the paneling.)
Great video. Thank you for all the tips. Gonna tackle my door panel rattle soon
Glad it helped
@@autofanaticcars Finished over the weekend. Worked like a charm. Thanks again for the video. Exactly what I needed to know
Hey mate, can't seem to get my hands on window weld ribbon sealer here in Australia. Do you know of any other alternatives or perhaps other names for the product you're using in this video. I'm trying to search for alternatives here in Aus. Cheers
On the clips , did you use the 3M liquid or the ribbon? Also what did you end up using the ribbon for if not the clips?
So I’m new to this stuff, I have a Subaru Crosstrek with mid-woofers in the front door panels, I had my local audio shop put in some sound proofing materials in certain spots. It helped in many cases, but now I noticed the actual plastic door frame (like where you rest your arm) rattles pretty bad when the bass hits.
Can I apply these kind of materials to the plastic part as well? Instead of the metal door frame?
is there a video on how did you remove and seal the door clips? they seem to be fragile and one of my clip has already cracked when i removed the door panel
My 2015 Camry drives me crazy. I just foot the sunroof knock fixed and the glove boxe area rattle fixed but still a lot more coming from the back I need to go through it and fixe it.
I have a new TRD camry. 300 miles so far and shit rattles.
Bloody hell, this is a good video.
Great ideas and video!! My older Chevy S10 Blazer has metal rods and linkage for the locks and door handles. Any tips or ideas for reducing rattles and vibration on these?
Scott Wieben cover rods in rubber vacuum hose 👌
I'd kill to be your friend haha.. Texas needs you!
funny you say that Texas is on our radar to relocate very soon, considering TX and NC, watch some of my other videos. AF
GOOD ONE VERY PRO!!! TNX
Hi!
No need to soundproof the metalic layer on the door?
its appreciated
Thank you so much
great video! I have a 2019 Honda Accord and the driver door rattles at a specific area, and that drives me nuts. i will remove the panel and follow your advice - thanks
Did you find and fix the problem with the Honda ?
@@ophrasbankaccount7716 yes I was able to resolve the issue. Despite the shitty roads we have in Ontario, I never heard the rattle again.
can you use instead noico 80 flash tape with butyl adhesive?
If you own a BMW X5 or X6 this video is gold. Those cars ALLLL rattle and creak. Especially their hatches.
I was in an accident and they had to remove the drivers side door panel for the repair, it now rattles like crazy. This very helpful, I can’t take it anymore. 😂
Just wanted to say thanks for this video, just used ribbon to fix my door....great job here
Where are you located at in tx because I need to hit you up to fix my door rattles on my new 2021 Elantra
I'm currently trying to fix a rattling 2014 Ford C-max window regulator. I'm going to try that window weld on the clips that hold the regulator to the actual window.
Great video! I have a ticking noise in my 13 ml 350. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. Any tips how to trace where the sounds coming from?
have someone else drive your car around so you can sit closer to the source of the noise. If the noise is recreatable (example rattles when certain songs play at just the right frequency) then try to push down on the trim pieces at different points to see where its coming from.
Very useful. Thank you for the video. I'll definitely do this for my Q50. I love the car but the rattling drives me crazy lol
Gonna follow this video for my door panels … any tips on doing the headliner/roof near sunroof? That rattles real bad on my car and it's driving me nuts O_o
I'm going to try this in a few days. The bass in my car has been driving me nuts with the driver door buzzing. I'll update this comment when I do it!
This is an excellent fix, but just curious, will damping sheets have better results?
can you name any other brand for 3M uretan? which material I can use for another option to stick the clips? Thx
Great video. Greatly appreciate all the tips.
Ow! Great video! Really appreciate your time and effort here. It helped me with my problems on the car. If you have any tips about the wind noise on the q50 from 2014 please let me know. Thank you.
Thank you, very informative. That's exactly what I have with my CRV - rattle box that drives me nuts. You may want to add the door lock parts to your list, the steel connectors may rattle a lot with no easy way to silence them
Did you get any solutions to this?
What would you use if the door skin is rattling on the door it’s self? It’s come unglued just a little?
I have just the door lock pin rattling on the drivers side. 2017 Chevy Cruze Premier. Do you have any suggestions of what I can put there without disturbing the function?
Thanks.
Thanks for this great video!, shame the camera was pointing upwards missing most of the important action.
It's not just the noise but window,tilting in mirror and even lock. Basically cutting off electronics for that door on a 2016 Buick Escalade
I very much appreciate this video. But are there any issues with being able to remove the door panel in the future after the window weld has been applied to the clips?
No issues for future service the materials stay pliable for years
thank you for the informative video. my wife thinks im too 'critical' when it comes to the rattles...
Rattles drive me nuts! Ruins the feel of the drive.
divorce her
good
If I were to hire someone to do this for my Ford fusion sport, what should I expect to pay? And would I find this person at an audio shop or body shop?
I have a Mazda3 with Bose speakers in the front doors. When the bass hits, the doors rattle. Does this help with removing rattles from the bass?
Are you in CT?
thanks for the video. with the door panel clips are you using the WW ribbon or liquid?
Great video...need to reposition the camera
Wish me luck! Gonna try this with my 2003 Silverado, damn subwoofers makes everything rattle in the poor thing haha
How did it go? I’m planning on trying it as well on my 2000 Camry
@@You-wo9su 06 gmc that I’m gonna do soon how’d it turn out?
@@noahcrooker4526 I took the door apart and found that it was actually my shitty 2000 cardboard speakers that were rattling. I bought a $100 kit online with all the speakers in the car and paid for someone to replace them. Good luck to you though man!
Have o7 ford focus left side in 3 times little bit better tune up checked under..balance tires but when ideals it shakes drive slow.. faster not so much..
Was hoping you’d address a buzzing window controls / door lock cluster. It rattles in its place when the radio is on. If I press on the door handle or the control cluster I can arrest the rubbing. You talk about isolating panels with tapes and caulks...what about lubing? Like a dot of silicone lube flooded into the contact zone?
Great to know, my Infiniti has the same problem in both front doors. So sick to hear the noise.
Lucia Wang does it make that noise when the music is too loud ?
There should be a support group for guys with cars that have rattling / buzzing sound. My Mercedez Benz 2018 GLC300 has something loose in the back door driver side (right behind my ears) and it's driving me crazy. It's making my speaker's buzz. My wife doesn't hear it. Dealer has looked at twice, can't fix it. I either sell the car or try this. Good video
thank you for the video, I just wonder if you watched your video before putting up, most of the time we cant see what your doing
Hoping someone can help me out. I have bass rattle coming from the lower b pillar on both driver and passenger side HOWEVER I only get the rattle when the door is closed. When it is open I hear no rattle. Would this procedure help me out? I have a crosstrek and the door panels appear to be really easy to take off so I don’t expect any issues there. HELP! LOL
i hate the noices of my yaris- this explains a lot. I’m insane now.
lmao at 21:45 when you start smashing the door xD idk man it sounds like you're damaging it just a LITTLE bit.
Quick update: for my Mazda3, I need to cover as much of the door panel with Kilmat because it's hard to tell where the rattle is coming from. I did this the 1st time and will have to go back and do it a 2nd time because I'm sure there are a few areas I missed. Mind you, I covered about 80 to 90% of the door panel. These car companies need to do a better job
I have QX60 and feel like a bolt drop in the back door I opened the panel but did not find anything in there but noise is killing me.an suggestions ?
Recently my wife's 2017 sienna passenger's door is rattling when stepping my gas. I hit the door and it goes away and comes back. It's about 30 degrees here so I think cold whether has something to do with that
Thank You Sir!
My passenger door has the rattle noise and it drives me nuts. My girl thinks im crazy. I will record where mine is coming from and i will up load it. Thank again.
Keep the vids coming.👍👍
Thanks*
pick up the stuff in the description and fix it for good. AF
