***Official What did you do to your EK today***

if its really worn you could wrap the end of the lock rod in a small ammount of electrical tape to reduce the gap, then pack grease around it, i probably wouldnt use blutac as thats quite hard and sticky so might just run into the same problem again, also if the switch moves around easily you can put grease behind it on the point it mounts to make it not wobble around so easily, i did this on my passenger door as the switch would vibrate at certain rpm or bass hits and it has stopped it.

Good ideas also. Will experiment until I find something that works & post here over the weekend. Cheers man.

the white plastic where it clips to the door, moves a few mm in each direction, don't think htb grease will help.

You talking about that bit? my passenger side one was pretty fuked, packed htb behind it and coverd the front and doesnt vibrate now. Give it a shot if yours is vibrating, im sure you would have some htb or all pourpose grease around bau.

auto store?

HTB = high temperature bearing

or just general purpose grease.

Naice one bau.

Your just trying to restrict the rod from vibrating at the connecting points so any fairly thick grease should work. i just used htb cause i had a tub laying round.

Basically any thick grease.. will buy tomorrow and see how i go. Cheer's

thats the one i used but anything similar should work

Removed the foam I had put inside my door to stop the rattling, can now actually unlock/lock my door, also fixed the rattling by reducing the amount of slack the actuator gave to the the lock rod.

reposition my intercooler to sit higher to get a bit more air flow.
