- Open the rear sliding door and remove the rubber bumper (Fig. 1) from the rear end of the upper door track, then close the door.
Fig. 1 Remove Bumper
1 – Rubber Bumper
- Continue test driving the vehicle over the same road conditions to determine if removal of the rubber bumper eliminated the rattle noise.
- YES>>> The rattle noise was eliminated. Continue to Step #5.
- NO>>> The rattle noise was NOT eliminated. Reinstall the rubber bumper. ThisBulletin does not apply. Normal diagnostics should be performed.
- Using a coarse file (2), remove 1 mm of material from the rubber bumper surface (1) indicated in (Fig. 2).
Fig. 2 Modify Bumper
1 – Rubber Bumper Surface
2 – Coarse File
- Install the modified rubber bumper to the vehicle.
NOTE: In the following step, ensure the paper is not positioned or trapped between the door and a door seal which will result in a false inaccurate tension resistance test.
- Hold a piece of paper (1) in front of the rubber bumper (2). Make sure fingers and hands are clear of the door opening then shut the door while holding the paper in position (Fig. 3).
NOTE: There is an intended design clearance of approximately 1.8 mm between the rubber bumper and the sliding door inner panel.
- Slowly pull the paper (3) while feeling for any tension or resistance on the paper during paper removal ( 3). If tension or resistance was felt while removing the slip of paper, that would indicate a contact interference condition between the rubber bumper and the door inner panel.
- YES>>> Tension or resistance was felt. Repeat the rubber bumper materialremoval Step #5 and retest clearance with the slip of paper until no tension or resistance is felt.
- NO>>> Tension or resistance was NOT felt. Continue to Step #9.
