The bumpy roads are taking a toll on my car...lots of rattles and creaks!
One is really bugging me. The lock slider on the passenger side rattles bad. I can hit the door with my fist and it will make noise. If I hold the slider with my finger it stops.
Is there a way to tighen that thing up?

I actually tried the silicon over the weekend. It helped but didn't fix it, so I bought some of those felt pads you put on cabinet doors. I glued them around the lock slider and it took care of it.
With that gone, I noticed yet another rattle. The passenger seat, when no one is in it, rattles. It's the recliner part of it...you can see the seat back moving over bumps and rattling a way. Anybody have an idea on how to fix that?

Try buckling the passenger side seat belt. I could hear a very quiet rattle, and buckling it up cured it. I keep all mine buckled because I have to drive on 2 miles of gravel and that causes some bad rattles. I'm about to take my A-Pillar loose and gob some silicone behind it.
Tried that already...not the problem. The seat itself, actually the upper part that reclines and tilts forward to let someone in the back seat rattles. It moves back and forth over bumps about 1/8" and makes noise. I wonder if there is a way to tighten it up.

Both of my lock switches rattle, but I caused the problem a few years ago. When I opened up the doors to replace the stock speakers with aftermarket ones, I noticed that there was a metal wire that was supposed to sit in a rubber grommet/socket to keep it from having any play. Well, I just put the doors back together without paying any attention and ever since, the locks rattle. It would be too much of a pain for me to re-open the doors, so I'll deal with the noise for now.
Had to be evacuated Monday again after a fire was going on the hill behind us. Only 3-4 hours, they did a good job getting it under control. Especially...
