Condition

Some customers may comment that the front or rear side door rattles or flutters when closing.

Correction

1. Remove the side door trim and water deflector.

2. Inspect all of the components in the door to make sure that they are fastened or routed properly before proceeding to step 3.





3. If you have not found anything loose or misrouted inside the door, add additional Fusor super flexible anti-flutter foam-fast set, Fusor P/N 121/124, or 3M Automix P/N 8463. Run a continuous, thick bead (shown above) the entire length between the door outer panel and the top edge of the inner safety beam. Make multiple passes behind the side impact sensor portion of the beam as required to fill in any gaps.

4. Apply Fusor super flexible anti-flutter foam-fast set, Fusor P/N 121/124, or 3M Automix P/N 8463, in a continuous bead the entire length between the beltline reinforcement and the door outer panel.

5. Install the side door trim and water deflector.
