Anyone notice how loud the door slams when shutting the door? Maybe its just me, but my brother has an audi, and when i shut his car door, its nice, quiet, firm. But the stang, when i shut the door, is loud and clunky. Anyone experience the same thing? Is there a way to dampen the sound?

 

my doors shut nice and they have a solid feel....no unusual clunks

 

No mine is pretty solid over all too, but its just... loud. Everyone in my family drives a German car (go figure, I used to own a 93' VW Corrado SLC) and i guess just compared to those it just seems loud. If anyone has ever shut an Audi door, you would know exactly what im talking about.. Just seems very smooth. I dont know, maybe im just tripping.

 

its for the exact reason you said, german cars... they like to make their cars damn near pefect in all aspects lol.

 

Well, yes, Compared to the Audi (or in my Case my Former BMW or my Dads BMW) the door sounds a lot when you close it!

But for two reasons 1. The German Car manufacturers put tons of money,, time and engeneers (spelling?) on just such a thing, what sound the door makes when it closes. Thats why you pay a lot of more money for the BMW or Audi.

2. The German car propably isn´t a cab or coupé, wich means that it has the fram around the window, wich the Mustang doesnät have, wich makes the door more "flexible" = makes mor sounds!

try driving a 92 cavalier Z24....those doors outweigh the car >.< they are the loudest and clunkiest thing on the planet....and talk about feeling every crack in the road with it...lol[:@]

 

Mine sound just right when I don't "Slam" the door... The don't take much effort to close, but are a heavy door, and if you push to hard, you get the big bang when it shuts... I keep having to remind the kids to not slam the door.

I have to remind myself too...

 

Personally, I think it's because of the auto drop windows. The windows are not "sealed" when shutting the door, and therefore it sounds horrid.

Try adjusting the Latch on the frame where the door catches. After the doors have been used a bit, the placement of these can sometimes be alittle off forcing the door to have to move as it contacts the latch thus creating the clunk.

 

I don't slam my doors hard. Learned from my other car,that it screws up the door after awhile.
No need to slam them, they close just right.
