I have searched and came up with a couple of possibilities but non of them seemed to get specific enough.
I have an 05 RS and I have a wicked noise in the drivers door when I hit bumps and occassionally when I roll the window up or down. It's kind of a click, but on bad roads can be more of a rattle. I have tightened the felt lined shims at the top of the door, but this seems like a bandaid that only fixes the problem for a short time. All of the spots where the window track attach to the door seem snug, it sounds like the noise is coming from somewhere inside where the glass attaches to the frame.
Is there anything in particular that I can look at. It's difficult to see much in the door cavity, but if there is a specific nut or bolt that has caused people problems in the past, I'd like to start there.
Please help, this noise drives me crazy. I am anal about noises and rattles, but this one in particular sounds like something could fail soon.
Thanks for the help.
