My car over night has developed a loud door rattle(drivers door) when going over bumps in the road. Ive done a search and there are a old few threads, none of which seem to have the answer, usually the OP has had it sorted under warranty.

The rattle sounds like the window is loose or something is tapping the door skin on the inside. Has anyone else had a rattle like this?? If so how did you sort it?? I've driven along holding the window and other items of door trim but the rattle is still there. I'm going to take the door card off, i've seen some instructions on here. Is there anything obvious to look for when the card is off or is it just a case of checking for anything loose?

Many thanks everyone. Black MY2013 SD4 GS Auto, Wood Company Armrest, Freel2 sticker.

My freelanders drivers door sort of started a knocking sound last week checked it inside to find that it might be the window regulator. My drivers window is quite tempermental as when you close it it wants to reopen.

Definitely sounds like the regulator - does the door rattle when you close it (ie sound different to the others doors?). My wife's MY13 developed a rattle in the drivers door that started off as an intermittent rattle and then became continuous over a period of weeks. Dealer immediately identified it as the window regulator and replaced it under warranty.

Thanks for the replies. Yes, there is no noise when the window is open. I checked last night, I opened and closed the window a few times and the rattle seemed to go away. I even went over a few speed bumps and no rattle. There was a rattle today on the way to work but no where near as bad as yesterday.

The regulator looks straight forward to change, i'll see if the rattles gets any worse then look at changing it. Black MY2013 SD4 GS Auto, Wood Company Armrest, Freel2 sticker.

Stevie,
Did you change the window regulator and did it sort the problem?
I've a door rattle that seems to be window related - it goes away when the window is down.
Thanks

I've not had time to do it yet. I've been snowed under. I've noticed over the past month that the rattle comes and goes. I'm living with it at the moment but it's really annoying me. Black MY2013 SD4 GS Auto, Wood Company Armrest, Freel2 sticker.

Okay, please post up the results when you get a chance to do it.
Many thanks
