    hey Carl

    Take the top and bottom anti rattle pieces off your door and make me a cardbord template.
    Just the flat profile.
    I'll take the template and make some new pieces for everyone out of fiberglass.
    send me a PM and I'll give you my address.
    And as for the rod going into the top and bottom plates, I use to use a strip of wetsuit neoprene to keep it from rattling.

    Casimier,
    Here's a pic of the part on top of the front side door (sorry for fuzziness!).

    I can get the dimensions later in the weekend. IMO, I don't see how the replacement can be made of anything except a thin spring type material. It's got to be pretty thin to fit between the door and body and also be able to 'push' against the body.

    Here a the dimensions (finally! Smile )
    They are probably not to scale! Your monitor may vary:

    There are two per door, one top and one bottom, and they are a mirror image of each other. Hope this helps. If you need more info let me know.

    I put 2000 watts of audio in my truck and it takes care of all those pesky noises.

    Gee....I think I'd prefer the rattles than 2000 watts of Country & Western music.
