Fixed Door Rattle

[nigelp]

The drivers door of my Chim has rattled ever since I bought the car in October last year. I was convinced it was the window/window track based on all the posts about that problem, and with the help of my sons long thin arm managed to take the door apart but everything looked fine. Yesterday I thought I'd have another go, and started by pushing and pulling anything that moved to try and repeat the noise. I noticed when I leaned on the door from the outside there was some slight movement, and if I let it bounce back the noise it made sounded about right. Lo and behold, I undid the two bolts holding the door catch to the door, moved it out a couple of milimeters, tightened up, and the rattle has gone!

I guess it's obvious, but thought I'd post it in case anyone else has the same problem.
