Anyone experiencing a vibration/rattle /metallic buzzing inside cabin adjacent to drivers door, right side of dash?
Just appeared today after couple of months and 1200 miles-may be temperature dependant but uncertain of that.
Tried holding /pushing all visible bits to no effect-inside dashboard or door possibly?

Please Rob, don't get me started on rattling, knocking, banging,buzzing,whooshing noises....

 

[Lynnemack87]

Oh no! One thing I cannot stand. Here is genuinely hoping mine is ok or the potential of a 2 year old and music may drown that out! Lol

Yes....Me and the Mrs argued the other day which side of the dash it was from.....I reckon its temperature related and I have it when the aircon is on at maximum cold.....its as if the contraction of plastic creates a gap which can resonate with the tone of the engine and road surface condition.........I think its the "end" panels that cause it which are visible when you open the front doors........I gave mine a thump with flat hand and it seemed to stop.........the rattle that is......not the Mrs!!!

Apart from a rear seat belt noise annoyance its the first other noise I have had!

 

[Lynnemack87]

What part of the seat belts rattle? I've heard that this is a problem before? Lol

Not really a problem but the left rear seat belt does not stay where it should and moves off the backrest and onto the plastic panel at the side and rattles away!.......it does on mine anyway! easy design to have would be a slot in the plastic panel in which to plug it when not in use.........like the lack of a glove box light should be too easy to think by designers but not included.........oversight when you consider the daft twangy seat back storage that doesn't do anything............apart from giving easily pleased passengers something to twang in the back.........daft idea!!

I enjoy my Captur but sometimes wish it didn't seem such a rushed product.......so many things could and should have been included and at not a great deal of cost as well!

Rob, try some grass spray at thedoor's striker.

Capturion what do you mean by grass spray.
TCEddy I will try jamming something between door and panel to test your theory.
Thanks

Try "grease" instead of "grass"

 

[Capturion]

Yep, grease is the correct word. My English are rusty.

Bit of grease on it improve it?

Parakalo Rob. Your Greek are definitely not rusty.

During summer days I need to do the "greasing" every two months to avoid hearing those "cracks" at the doors. I use this lubricant:

I suppose that yesterday, we should have suggested that you put some grouse on it

I just started a new topic about this as I couldn't find it on here!

I am also getting a temperature-sensitive metallic rattle.

Did greasing the door metal catch thingy help?

T.C.Eddy on noisy seat belts.
When I received my Captur the seat belts were fastened and looked quite neat on the 3 back seats. Why not buckle up to stop the noise?

 

[TC Eddy]

I have to admit to doing the "Just had an MOT look" with the rear seat belts....but passengers don't half get annoyed when they have to unbuckle them to buckle em up again!!

All they need is a little slot........problem solved!!......maybe on the Mk 2.....if it survives that long!!

 

[Capturion]

Grease spray worked for me regarding noise that was coming from the doors. Have to spray every three weeks during hot summer days.

 

[revlou]

Excellent. I will give this a go.
