Anyone else got rattling doors? In particular the drivers door? Is there a quick fix for this or should I get to do it?

mine stops rattling when the windows open! I think there's some daft policy that you can only report rattles etc within the first year so maybe i'll ask them to sort it when i book a service.

Are you sure it's a rattle and not a squeak?
If it's a squeak (like mine when the windows are up)it's the top rubber seals on the very top egde of the doors. There's two of them Have you waxed the door openings by any chance??
TVM have cheapened the material for 2006MY and it now squeaks.
Try some wd40 on a cloth and rub it along the seals, that helps for a bit till it wears off.
My dealer won't change mine cos the new ones will be just as bad

It's a sort of knocking noise when you go over a bump. It might be that plastic trim on the outside of the door because it has some movement in it.

That noise is the window rattling in the regulator - another TVM cost down
The dealer should fix this for you by adding the fixing that was costed out.
TVM are great

TVM is the Spanish Inquisition Dept within Ford that are a law onto themselves and do all the cost down excersises on current/future vehicles. Like removing $0.01 here and $0.00021 there. They made us take the Jaguar logo off the airbag door veneers!!! Saving 15 cents per car (on a £48,000 Jag, yeh I know)
If you've ever bought the same car twice e.g a 2000 Focus then a 2003 Focus and noticed bits missing or the cars louder, that's them

It seems stupid because they try to save like 20p by not building the door properly but it will cost them more in labour to fix it at the dealer. Problem with ford is that you get nothing as standard and customer service is s**te. Its stupid that they put a rubber jonny around the gear stick on a top of the range fiesta. Is the fiesta galvanised?
