<div dir="ltr">Ok, I'm going to add some more here.<div><br></div><div>(1) On the door opening bar, on my Series 3, there was a small wire clip that went around both sides of the bar. It is a wire, bent 180* in the middle. Kind of like a hairclip. The open end would go around the bar, then into a small hole on one side of the channel. The closed end had a little loop (again, like a hairclip). A screw went through that into a small hole just above the channel. This helped keep the bar from bowing out or possibly rattling. I did not see this in the SIV I had. So many this never made it to Tigers.</div><div>(2) On my very late SV, there was a thin piece of felt glued into the channel (and no wire clip), that I presume was their to avoid rattle. Maybe that is what you are talking about in your last bullet.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, May 29, 2020 at 3:49 PM James Armstrong via Tigers <<a href="mailto:tigers@autox.team.net">tigers@autox.team.net</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">

<div><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">- both the window crank shaft and the door opening shaft each use two (2) felt donuts or four half donuts(4) per</span><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)"> <span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">door to set up proper door panel position and rigidity</span></span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">- Rick has these in stock if you need them</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">- the door handle and the window crank have very small rubber anti-rattle tubes in the actuator insertion cavity.<br> Dr. Ron Fraser gave the dimensions, tentatively as; <em><span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:"New serif";font-variant-ligatures:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;letter-spacing:normal;text-align:start;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;white-space:normal;word-spacing:0px;text-decoration-style:initial;text-decoration-color:initial;float:none;font-size:12pt;display:inline">Dimensions - .35? x .384? .293? thick</span> </em><br>- the chrome collar should slide easily into the black plastic collar with or without spring. If not, make it so.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">- The original fixing pins were tapered so that they could be inserted with a positive stop. Almost no-one has these today and new ones have been fabricated from nails. Extra assembly effort required but OK</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)">- remember to check for anti-rattle padding behind the door flat actuating plate that goes from the handle area to the latch and travels right over the big window mechanism opening in the door</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:10pt;color:rgb(0,0,0)"> You'll see traces of old glue where it was. You can use any kind of dampener. Prevents a major rattle on door closer/slam</span></div>
