[QUOTE="BigJ, post: 170503, member: 62"] Hey SCab owners who've done this... have you noticed a new sort of "rattle"? I use that term loosely since its not really a rattle, but more like what springy tacky rubber might sound like when it taps or moves against other rubber/latex/painted metal? This may have been obvious to the rest of you, but I didn't catch it until looking around for ways of fixing this new sound. There's a strip mounted to the inside edge of the suicide door, that seals to the main door when both are closed. I'm 99% positive its this strip that the new noise is coming from; now that theres a touch more tension on the outside seals, this inside seal is allowed to be a little looser, and so its freer to move while driving, resulting in a rubber on painted metal sort of clicking. So to firm that seal back up, I grabbed what was left of my tubing and ran some thru it. [ATTACH=full]189293[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]189294[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]189295[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]189296[/ATTACH] A 5 minute test says that may have solved the issue. And even if it doesn't the main door closing feels much more solid. I dig it. I'll report back if the noise isn't gone. [/QUOTE]
