I have a 67 Kombi. The side door (cargo) rattles when it I run over a bump (it's stock height). How can I fix/remove this?
The seals are OG and seem 'decent'. What else can I look at? |

| Are all of the bolts in the doors? Are they all tight? Might need to just adjust the doors around a bit? |

| Look at the rear cargo door strike. If it's worn down you can put washers under it to make it more inward or buy a fresh one. |

Well, I was going to suggest the seals, but if yours seem decent, check all the bolts and screws.
Brand new seals do wonders for eliminating rattles. |

| I forgot to mention that before I replaced mine, my original seals "looked" fine, too. |

| start by finding your problem shake rattle and bang on your doors till you figure out where the noise is coming from. |

It's rattling from this area (not my bus, just a quick pic I found), underneath the actual 'latch'-slidey part (technical huh?). When I hit a bump, this latch part moves up and down and it goes clack clack klak on wherever it slides onto...
