bizzyb0nes Report post Posted February 8, 2009 I did a search and saw where it was discussed before, but my '08 w/ no stereo going, just driving down the interstate...has both front doors making some noise, and it sounds like it is coming from the door cups...certain low bass tones will make it really bad. I saw there is an old tsb, but has anyone come up w/ a more permanent fix? Especially if i swap out the stereo for something nicer. Thx Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

R3DALRT Report post Posted May 21, 2009 I found my 08 V6 Sport to exhibit a buzz sound/mild virbration over rough roads on the drivers side door panel. I finally diagnosed it to be the window lock switch. If I hold my finger on it, the noise goes away. Im going to take the switch plate off and see if I can insulate it with some rubber.

mplsfusion Report post Posted June 11, 2009 I've cured this problem in my 2007 Fusion. The door rattle eminates from the window-switch unit in the door panel. The actual window-switch unit is clipped into another plastic chassis that houses the window lock-out, window, and mirror controls. This is the the plastic chassis that you grab when you open and close the door. To cure the problem you will need to wrap the actual window-switch unit to the chassis more securely. Start by removing the plastic chassis from the door panel. You need a size 7mm socket to remove the screw inside the handle pocket. Pull up on the plastic housing and slide towards the left to undo the clip near the mirror control knob. The chassis should lift directly out. You can leave the switches plugged-in. Simply take small strips of electrical tape and pull the sides of the plastic chassis tighter to the actual window-switch unit. Do this in several areas around the chassis and switch and you have your cure for the terribly annoying door rattle. I couldn't believe that such a small plastic clipping method would make such an annoying rattle. Thanks for following the long reply. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
R3DALRT Report post Posted November 28, 2009 I found that removing the window switch assy, and placing a piece of foam between it, and the bracket it screws to, does the trick as well. Helps absorb the vibs. But MPLS idea above sounds "sound" to me! :beerchug: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
