Racking sounds on all doors

[raygohbmw]

There is racking sounds on all the doors of my 5 series. I have tried changing the rubber lining at the doors but the sound is still there. Any solution?

Hi guys.... rattling could be caused by loose internals - window mounts, winding mechanism, speaker mounts etc - need to open and check/tighten up.

Wind noise can be reduced by applying conditioner to the door's rubber seal - they will be "softer" like new and seal better. If not then just replace any deteriorated window seals or adjust the door alignment accordingly.

I suppose wind noise is something which is quite subjective. What appears to be heavy wind noise to somebody may be perfectly tolerable to another. Sometimes, even for the same person, at different times, your ear's sensitivity may varies e.g. when you just come out from a quiet office or when you just step out from a dischoteque

If you have just recently opened up your door panel, most probably the culprit could be some screws or joints which are not property put back or worse you may see one or two screws or pins lying on your car carpet, knowing very well that it must be the b*#stard fella who have forgotten to screw your door panel back properly.

Hi all. I'm new to this forum.

I had that problem before on my E39. The rattling noise came from all four doors. I opened the door cards and lubricated all the necessary parts but the noise still there. After a long observation I finally found the answer. The sound coming from the door lock/latch and the door catch at the B-pillar for front door and pillar at the rear. What I did, I just applied the black double sided or thicker tape around the door catch and the noise went away.

I hope this the exact problem is what you experience now.

I have tried many ways and visited many workshops and the car is still noisy.
Doors are rattling, glovebox too.

ryucky81, you mean the rubber oil to lubricate all the door rubber? I used the conditioner like Son of Gun or Top Gun every month to lubricate those rubber. Helps to maintain its soft texture from getting hardened by the element.
