Its not just the doors!!!

My doors do rattle and the interior light flickers on big hits!

hahaha mine dont do that..... yet:unsure:

I've done some soundproofing on my Jimny, as it's driven for quite long distances it's important to get every annoying noise out of the cabin and have a comfortable ride.

If you've removed the door trim at some point, it's possible to have some broken or unseated clips which allow rattling. Fix: remove trim and rearrange the clips, replacing the broken ones.

You can also have some cables which are rattling around. Fix: wrap cabling in soft adhesive sponge, so they won't hit metal anymore.

If you still have noises, try checking the lock mechanism for play.

And of course, check that you don't have any coins in the door pocket :laugh:

they noise i get is more of a banging noise. as if the doors arnt closing properly

Try moving the striker plate (in the body opening) either in or out, probably inwards, a little bit. Might pull the door in tighter when you close it? Mine did this and this cured it.
Having said that, it wasn't as successful on the back door 'knocking'. This was cured by adjusting the rubber 'supports' in the door.
