Keith vs. Corrado Rattles Round 1

Ding Ding Ding.. Keith emerges as the victor after round one. Try as it might, the Corrado is now down several rattles.

hehehe...
I had no idea how bad the freakin doors rattle on this car until I replaced those stupid pins for the latch mechanism... Best $14 I've spent on my car in a LONG time.

Part #4 is what you want.

$5.87 each at VWParts.com
Now the only thing that still rattles is my sunroof, and I suspect that if I drop the headliner and tighten up a few bolts, I'll take care of that too...
TAKE THAT CORRADO!

Re: Keith vs. Corrado Rattles Round 1 (ToddOne)
Todd, yep the thing-a-ma-bob attached to the door jam. It was causing a rattle because the white nylon surround on it was gone on the passenger side and just about gone on my drivers door. When that piece is gone, there's nothing on the pin to take up the slack in the door latch. Since the doors are so heavy they would move about and rattle. Note: My passenger side door was EXTREMELY bad. You would have to slam the ever living crap out of it to keep it closed.
Also, the piece they screw into is moveable, so when I re-attached them, i placed them further inward by about 1mm which also holds the door tighter to the car.
Honest, I'm not making this up, I swear!

after solving that problem, tell me how to stop the damn belts from rattling

the noise comes from the shoulder belt at the door [yes, the annoying electric ones] when it is in the retracted and locked position. can't be a wear issue because my g60 has only 33k on it. this is the only real rattle in the car...
