Rattling Remis

[Pudsey Bear]

The passenger side is fine, (can't hear it from my side anyway) but drivers rattle like mad, does me head in, the part that seems to rattle is the bit between the two blinds, any ideas of how to stop them?

Bit of foam behind it.

Have you checked the sticky foam pads they are fitted with, wouldn’t be the first time they haven’t had the cover peeled off of the sticky part that sticks them to the door.

Thanks,

I'll look into those if it ever stops peeing down, my own thoughts were to prise it out a little and mix up some Sugru and once cured let it back in, but hesitant to put too much strain on the flimsy feeling plastics they make them from.


Can you get spares for them, one of the blinds is a bit rough.

Clear silicone sealant.
flexible and sticks to most things , a great rattle stopper.
Our Remus blind frame came away from the passenger door at the top, a squirt sorted it out a treat

mine rattled a couple of years ago whilst I was driving, wedged a bit of folded paper between door and remis frame as a (successful) "temporary" fix, it's still there now and still no rattles

I don't think I'll be doing that, I may sell it one day and if I saw that on a van I was looking at I'd wonder what there was that was out of sight.

I'm still with Sugru, but I like it as a temp fix, I'm surprised that there isn't a place for a concealed screw to be honest.

I used "Black Tack" on mine.

Black Tack is like blue tack, but a much stronger and sticky version., plus it's not setting and removable if needed.

Not heard of that, I'll give it a coat of looking at.

The silicon sealant goes where the sticker should be.
The double sided sticky taps loose their stick.
