vibrations in the door trim

[_Daniel]

Hi i was wondering if anyone else has had this problem

under certain freqeuncies the plastic trims on the door vibrate alot, does anyone know how to fix this?
Also whats a good place to place the crossover in a civic hatch?

sound deadening...

[_Daniel]

afaik sound deadening is for the actual door?
its not my door thats vibrating, its the plastic trim

[micka]

deadener may help, it will make the trim heavier if nothing else (thus a bit harder to vibrate), but deadening willy-nilly and fixing the problem will be more a matter of good fortune than good management. try to work out exactly what's vibrating then dampen it with deadener, some form of foam or whatever else you may need; it really depends on exactly what is vibrating.

ah okies. sorie my bad.. hahaha i fink should ask the guys in the audio sectioin of this forum, they could also tell you places to get the stuff etc. :thumbsup:

[_Daniel]

hmmm someone told me deadener will not fix the problem, others say it *might*

seeing as the stuff isn't cheap, I'd like to make sure before I go ahead and do it.
I've taken the door trim off and I can't seem to find what's causing the vibrations.
I was wondering if anyone was having the same problem :)

just take the door out and have a look if anything is loose.. that could be a start

I have the same sort of problem. its my lock switch that rattles like crazy.

[_Daniel]

thx!
I just went outside to check out mine and it rattles too!

now we just have to figure out how to stop it :(

[karbonphyber]

well, if something rattles. u might want to try removing the panel and just opening your eyes wider to see the situation =o)

[Eclipsor]

yeah its tricky. cuz it still has to move to be able to lock and unlock the door. I partly solved the solution by installing bigger speakers in the back so that by the time they start rattling the music is louder and I can't hear it ;)

it was the actual door handle part but 2 lasy to get in there n fix it.
