Driver Door Squeak
#76
Hi all,
I'm having the same issue (I think). I'm hearing the door seal and wind noise through the upper rear portion of the drivers door when hitting sharp bumps. I tried the gaffer tape fix but not yielding the same success that others have had. I used about 1-1/2 wraps of the tape on the striker. Is that not enough? Or perhaps too much?.

I had a 17 F450 that I did the door seal mod in, sort of worked but made the door very hard to close. I prefer not to do it on the new 350.
Hopefully the collective wisdom of the forum will find a solution!

Once again, if you simply loosen the two bolts that hold the striker in place there should be enough play to allow it to be moved inward a bit. I did this over 4k miles ago and no wind noise, no rattles, no squeaks and no tape. It pulls the door in a bit tighter. The problem must be the door is not fitting tightly enough with the latch to stop movement.

I tried moving my striker and I still come up with the same issue. I cleaned all of my door seals as well and still rattled.
The only remedy that seems to help is wrapping the door striker with tape and it solves the issue temporarily until the tape wears off. I though about making some kind of solid sleeve to go over the striker to help with wear use.

I have the same issue. Put some tape on the door and it fixed it. So, I made an appointment to have the dealer take a look at it for a permanent fix. I took the tape off before I took it in and the rattle was gone completely, so cancelled the appointment until the rattle came back. The rattle was gone for probably 3 weeks, but it's back again, so I've got tape on it for now.
