When I drive over bumps in my E34, the doors make a rattling noise. As far as I can tell, it is coming from the back of the doors in the area of the door latching mechanism. It sonds to me as if the doors are bouncing and chattering against the latching mechanism. Has anyone had a similar experience? If so, how did you resolve it?

Try some electrical tape around the inside "latch reciever", a temp fix but it will confirm the culprit.

loose window sliders were the culprit in mine.
