[DML] Re: Door Latch Rattles on Passenger side

["David Teitelbaum" <jtrealty@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Check the condition of your door seals first. If they are cracked,
torn, missing, or flattened out DO NOT TRY TO ADJUST THE ANCHOR PINS!!!
If you try to compensate for "dead" door seals you will not achieve
anything. If you don't know when they were last replaced (maybe
never?) replace them first and save yourself the trouble of trying to
adjust for worn seals. You will see that not only will the doors stop
rattling the car will be much quieter and less windy inside.
