the anatomy of the door rattle (tap, clap, etc)UPDATED
eureka
im not gonna be positive on this yet.............
but about 2 hours of time into it, at LEAST one culprit of the tap has been discovered..........
((once you pull the door panel, you'll see the limitless possibilities for tappings..............))
FYI:: i have foregone the idea of the dealer entirely.... IF you want this fixed, you'll HAVE todo it yourself..........
with any luck, im one step (big one at that) closer to success.......
The anatomy of the door (part one)
((note)) this is a hard site to witness, especially when my car has only 1200 miles on her....... but its a must to get in there
(()) it seems the glass-lie tapping sound is really a metalic 'clap' or contact made between a three ply section of the upper door sill (not the window sill, but the door sill)
(()) the more you open/close the door, the more the tolerances between said three-ply metal weakens, and........ eventually begins to make contact...
