Just wondering if anyone could give me some advice. A while ago, I had the door handles taken off to replace them with black vinyled handles. So the door panels were removed along with some screws. THE WINDOWS WERE NOT REMOVED. No, when I roll down the driver's side window, it rattles a lot in the door when driving, and makes a really bad when shutting the door with the window done. Also, it makes this clicking noise when rolling the window back up. I figure I have to remove the door panel, but I am just not sure what to look for in order to fix it. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.

 

seems as though something has been knocked lose. Maybe proper placement of the door panel back on your door wasn't done correctly and you have something rubbing on the window or other component. remember, thats a tight space. make sure all screws, bolts, w/e. are tight.

I had this happen with my exhaust. After installation, I realized I was getting a rattle, even though I swore I did everything. When I investigated, I realized a bolt was loose. Once I tightened, no more noise. My advice would be to check the connections and make sure things are tight. Hope it works out!

otherwise, take it to MINI, they have no idea it was taken apart. Just tell them a noise developed.
