Dear Yorkie,

Thnaks for the help and advice you've put in the thread below:

http://www.scoobynet.co.uk/bbs/thread.asp?threadid=87431

However It's not fixed my car yet ! Is their a difference between WD40/DuckOil and the PTFE lubricant, that worked for you ? I've not been able to find any PTFE and the Duck Oil/WD40 hasn't solved the problem.

My dealer's suggestingt to treat the b-pillar with wax to see if it fixes it !!

It's not the spot welds in the bottom of the b-pillar either !!

I've tried some GT85 with PTFE and the problem is greatly reduced. However I'd like to totally solve this. Would there be any improvement in using a PTFE only spray instead of the GT85 ?

I'm amazed IM don't appear to have a fix for this.

Cheers,

Ian

The oil didn't sort mine either!!!!!
so i took the striker plate of and stuck two pieces of that (window+door) draft excluder behind it, and hey presto no more little knock
but thanks to yorkie for finding it in the first place

Hi Steve,

Thanks for the reply. Is it easy to remove/refit the striker plate and how do you align it correctly after refitting ?

Cheers,

Ian

 

just unscrew the two bolts m8,use somthing that wipes off to mark it if u wish, but it,s easy to line up again.
