So I dealt with the sound deadening in the trunk and the rear Subs area to eliminate creaks and rattles, however i noticed that the doors over certain bumps also felt flimsy and rattled a bit.
around the door lock pin there was a vibration which I think was reported as an issue already.
I was too nervous to remove the plastic moulded door liner - would be nice if someone who's done that can do a video as I would like to get some sound deadening behind the outer skin of the door?
I placed a 5mm butyl foam type sound deadening on the outer door panel which dampens the panel nicely.
So after adding sound deadening and putting everything back together - the car felt very solid.
Drove for a full week and then one morning on my way to work the drivers side door switches, mirrors switch and folding mirrors and blind spot mirror indicator simply stopped working.
I tried the remote control by holding down the button and the windows went down but mirrors did not fold.
Drove all day like that.
First thought was that perhaps the plug was not seated properly and came out. so I opened the door up and checked it and everything was perfect.
Next day same issue.
The following day in the morning I wanted to put my window down half way so I used the remote and then leaned over to the passenger side to put that window back up (which by the way works). and off I went. Now everything is working again properly?
I've been driving now for a few days without a glitch??
all i can think of is that perhaps when disconnecting the negative of the battery and reconnecting it the ECU did not boot properly and maybe using the remote to wind the windows down somehow triggered it??
Just thought to write this to see if anyone has had a similar issue. My car has only 2000km's on the ODO.
