986 Door clang

[heebeegeetee]

Hi all,

Have owned our 986 for a good few years (8, I think). One thing I've always noticed is that when shutting doors with roof down, especially with windows down too, the doors shut with a really cheap-sounding 'clang', not at all like the 'thunk' you'd expect or want, and as it does with roof up.

Is this normal on a 986?

The doors show no signs of ever being apart, nothing inside the door is striking each other, I don't think... the noise is as you'd imagine from an empty metal door shell.

Anyone any thoughts or knowledge? Thanks guys.

Well there's food for thought here, for me to have a think about.

Many thanks, guys.

Yeah, same here. I had my left knee replaced two weeks ago (have hardly been able to drive the Boxster this year), but when recuperated, this job is on the to-do list.

I'll definitely report back.
