I've had alignment issues like many here, but have a problem that I can't find a solution to. I've had two dealerships align my doors multiple times. Either they align the doors which cause the doors to not seal up and chatter with with wind noise, or they seal the doors and the lines are hideous. The problem I have now, is that the rear doors chatter and pop at the door latches when I go through a dip or the body flexes at all (like turning onto a raised street or driveway). It almost sounds like when the seat belt buckle bounces against the abs or like something is flopping back and forth, but at the door latch.

The striker brackets have been moved in and out, the doors tweaked, the hinges adjusted and nothing fixes it totally. Any ideas?

 

If anybody is having similar issues, I think I have it solved. After narrowing it down to the door latch itself, I found that two of the three screws were stripped and gave the latch block just enough play that as forces were applied to the door, it would wiggle in the door and on the striker just enough to cause the popping. I put new screws in and wedged some foam around the block and will report back if it is fixed.

 

Can you post a photo of what you are taking about, so that I (we) can follow your progress?

 

Yes pics please, as this sounds exactly like my issue. What kinda screws as well. Thanks.
