Is there any way to lessen the amount of noise that comes from the cheap plastic interior and hard top?

I am seriously about to go insane, I have tried tightening every bolt I could find and it is still annoying to drive around listening to it if i don't have the stereo cranked.

Just wondering if anyone has any fixes for this issue?

 

I have a squeak from the foam on the bar right by my head. But if you have one coming from the door area like I did, then try a few wraps of electric tape on the door latch reciever. It took away a lot of my rattle. I think if you search "tape door mod" a thread will pop up.

 

On my 11' JKUR I have the full hothead kit including the rear side windows; that helped. I also used the home depot dyna-mat equivalent on the entire floor of the Jeep; from the rear gate to the firewall and from side to side; every bit of floor is covered, some in two layers. I also put the same stuff around the front window frame; some under some of the dash pieces, and also under the interior door trim on all four doors, and I have the canvas cargo carrier on the inside of the rear gate, I put the stuff under that too. I also took the tailouts out and put some inside those large spaces. I also have the 4 factory floor mats plus plastic mats over those and I have the full hd cargo liner over the entire cargo floor and the sides of the cargo area. All that dyna-mat type stuff is entirely hidden; you can't see anything from inside the Jeep. All that stuff did make a big difference but took some time. A word of caution if you really like mud and water; I've heard that dyna-mat and its equivalent can trap water under it; I don't doubt that. I hate mud and only go through water when I have to so it's not an issue for me. Also you might want to make sure all your rollbar bolts are tight; take some time and uncover everything and tighten them up. Almost all windshield, door and rollbar bolts were loose from the factory on mine.

 

Turn up the radio!

 

Jeep actually has a technical service bulletin that says clunk type noise from doors can be fixed by greasing the door latch. I greased mine almost a year ago and noise has not come back. So maybe take off the tape and grease it.

 

I have the anoying rattle/clunk coming from behind the door panel. Sounds like the latch mechinism.....UGH

 

I have a new one that started up, sounds like the top of the rear drivers side door????

 

Like the post above says, take electrical tape and wrap it one time around the latch where the door catches, will solve 99% of your door noise. Both my 2010 and 2011 jeeps had the noise and the fix worked on both of them. I actually did it on all 4 doors and the back hatch even though the driver side door was the only one making the noise.

Now I have a squeak in my front seat that I can't get rid of, sounds like the springs are squeaking every time there is any real movement.

 

Same here its annoying as hell

 

That's What I do... Wwwhhaaaaaatttt noise
