Guys
Seriously, what's the deal with the Type R door trims...
They vibrate and rattle so badly it drives me crazy!
Anyone fixed this problem and how did you do it?
Cheers

Also having this issue its damn annoying can hear it shaking and making sounds when driving on shitty streets, i believe its got something to do with the window glass as it does feel loose when you shake the window or have movement on it from impact such as potholes/cateyes or coilover setups which makes it a bumpy ride
haven't had the time to take it apart to check it out would be great if anyone knew the solution !

i can hear my lock vibrate and rattle non stop, maybe take the trim apart and see if your foam piece is still there?

is your windows open or closed?
the windows/door trim vibrate pretty badly when the windows are partially opened...

ive got the same problem.. but mine isnt that bad..
when my window in up.. i hear it rattle here and there, but when i half way down or all the way down, i dont hear a thing..
My windows don't rattle at all. I found a quick DIY on CTROUK that fixes this.
Just head down to Supercheap and get yourself about 2.2m of black windscreen washer hose. You will notice a really large gap between the window itself and the actual window sill (the rubber has a really deep/wide valley in it). Cut the hose to size and lay it into the gap . . . problem solved. Did mine over a week ago now and its been perfect ever since.

Same problem here only when the window is partly open. When close or completely open it has no problem. Might try jc method. Thanks for the share
