Yup, mine has a doir swedp brush, no factory installed foam.

Since using my stuff the foam in the stairwell method I have not heard a squeek or rattle in over 400 miles of driving. Much of that on rough roads.

Did this within a few days of the first trip.

Another source of door noise...

On last trip DW noticed that our door closer was hanging out of the vehicle. The screw that holds it to the door jamb had backed out. I reinserted and tightened it.

Afterwards had several short trips where I didn't bother to place my foam vibration damper in place. See previous post. Eventually realized that the door was rather quiet.

Check your door closer screws. I was lucky that all the hardware stayed with the loose closer.

We also have wind noise that bothers me. Some is probably the nature of the beast.

I have been saying since day one that it sounds and feels like a window is open but all are closed.

I plan to investigate the cab over windows from the outside to see if There are any gaps not visible from inside.

Can I put an extension ladder against the side of a Sunseeker?

In this thread, If you have not already done so, read posts #9, 11, 12, 14 and maybe 20 if it applies to your door.

One or all may help.

I see no problem with a ladder against the side,,, I extend mine up far enough so that it is the roof level,,, and I pad mine with foam pipe insulation !!!

According to my doctors I am not allowed on the roof and on ladders due to my imbalance issues. If I got on the roof I would probably breaks stuff, fall through and or fall off.

Your comment is both funny and appropriate for me.

I plan to use a brush on an extension pole and hope I don't forget to climb down the ladder when done.

Good idea, I didn't think of a painters pole. That will be an improvement over my old car wash pole.
Thanks.
