Default Door Clunk-Rattle
The doors on the Jeep were making a clunk noise, did the quick fix and used electrical tape. Clunk has gone.
Has anyone had an official fix done to this, like Jeep providing a different door latch or strike.
The Jeep is soon due for service so they could fix it then if there is a new design

I had a rattle above my head (hard top bold rattled loose after they'd worker on it), and they told me it was the door checks, and once they'd put tape around it, it would go.
Assumed that was their fix ???

It doesn't really bother me enough to complain ?? I drive like an 80yo ??

I get that one too. I think it's related to the seatbelt pre-tensioner system (seatbelt pulls occupant into the seat at impact (just before the airbag goes off).

At least I THINK that's the system the JK has.

Either way, it's related to the seatbelt.
