Driver's side door rattle without hard top
I know others here have mentioned this problem in the past, but I've
never seen a solution posted. Took the hard top off of my 97 Sahara
Edition this weekend using my newly built hard top hoist, and now I'm
getting a rattle in my driver's side door. I know Jeeps rattle and I
know that taking the doors off will solve the problem. So, beyond
those easy answers, anyone had any luck adjusting the door? I wasn't
sure if I should start by adjusting the door striker hoop in the door
jam or if I should look under the plastic door panel for something
loose in the window crank? The passenger side door is totally quiet.
I have the full steel doors, if that makes a difference.

Re: Driver's side door rattle without hard top
Can you get any play in the latch? You should be able to feel it if it
is loose enough to rattle. If so the striker can be moved.

Re: Driver's side door rattle without hard top
Thanks Bill. I feel like a real member of this newsgroup now that
you've replied to my post. If only you would have said, "Just sell it
and buy a real Jeep."
Mike, I can't get any play in the latch, but there is a difference in
how tightly the passenger and driver side doors latch. Something is
obviously out of adjustment. Should I start by moving the the striker
inward toward the driver's seat?
