Listers,

Chris:

Just a long shot; do you have the correct "fuzzy" door seals in place on 
your TR6?  When I purchased my car it had some generic, thin seals installed 
that allowed the doors and windows to rattle like crazy.  After I installed 
the correct seals the doors shut solidly and do not rattle.

Hope this helps.

I recently rebuilt my suspension and went the stiffer route.  Although I am
happy with the ride, the extra stiffness is causing my doors to rattle
something awful. I have adjusted the striker plate numerous times, and
either achieve an easy open door that rattles while I drive around or a nice
quite door that I can hardly open.  Is there any in-between?  Does adding a
shim behind the striker plate help?  Any comments would be appreciated.

Thanks,
