vexing, ain't it? time to take apart door... (archive)

you still can't figure out the creak from the rear? I did my shock mounts a few weeks ago and it helped with clunking, but I'm still hung up on this creaking. Hm.

take it easy,

My '95 M3/2 had a creaking noise coming from inside the door also. It would creak whenever I closed the door, turned on uneven surfaces, or if I pushed down on the door while the window was all the way down. I explained the problem to the dealer and after showing them every instance of the creak problem and proving to them that it wasn't simply the motor closing the window, they agreed to find out the problem. The culprit turned out to be a quarter that was lodged somewhere deep in the door. It didn't make much sense to me but after taking apart the door and removing the offending object, the creak was gone. I still can't figure out the creak coming from the rear though... probably time for some JT Designs rear shock mounts.

Later,
matt
