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?

Re: Driver's side door rattle without hard top
 

I would mark it 'really' well before moving it. Those can be a real
pain to line up sometimes.

I had this problem in a '99 Sport with the same doors-I loosened the
nuts that hold them on, lifted a little until the door was level,
tried closing it to make sure, then re-tightened the nuts while
someone held the door up. Fixed the rattle.
