Anyone know how to quiet S14 door vents? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I have spent a lot of time dampening my car...it's mostly windows down and blasting through stuff, but those door panel vents start to vibrate especially my passenger side. (on the passenger side my new door handle bezel will not 'clip' into the panel...so I think there may be a cover problem).

I am about ready to buy new ones. I dont know if it's the covers which are about $30 each or the duct which is $60 each...I hope it's not the door panel.

The car is an clean 98 SE with about 90k miles now if that matters. Subframe spacers and solid tension rods...KTS coilovers. I know I will have some noise but this is ridiculous. I am going to take a long weekend soon and take it all apart and put it back together, but I want to have what I need.

Anyone deal with this?

Foam tape.

The OE panel has a strip of felt that helps to cancel resonance, as it wears it runs through and begins to chafe against the duct panel.

I did notice that, I have tried felt and even 3M doublesided tape and it didnt stick well

How about the window rattle when you close your doors with the windows down?

I assume you have to tighten the window bracket inside the door. I've done the top parts but it still shakes shakes shakes senora... shakes it all the time
