Capri - Windows

I have been trying to track down a few rattles & one is in the window of the driver's side door. There seems to be too much space between the outer window weather strip (rubber) & the inner strip (felt). They both still appear in good condition so I thought I would improvise a little.
The door backing had to come off to do this. So, off with the armrest (two screws), the window winder (slide plastic & one screw) & then the door catch surrounds with plastic insert. The one on this door is stuck on due to the metal section on the handle mount being broken. The door inners are pretty fragile so care was needed to remove all the plugs. Several of the plug surrounds are just holding together.


While I had this off, quite a bit of WD40 & Fisholene were sprayed around inside the door & what a lovely smell! My plan was to add a strip of self-adhesive Velcro felt on top of the inner felt strip. I bought the tape at Bunnings & then cut it down the middle. This was very close to the width of the existing felt. It seemed to adhere really well.

So then it all went back together & the window has less space to rattle but it still is a little loose so time will tell if this little exercise has cured the rattling window.
