Door closing sound
Hi both doors on my my 89 shark (which i have owned for 10 years ) make a ringing sound when they are shut. Anyone have any ideas? Doors close fine with no issues except for a "dong" sound when closed. My local BMW mech - bm tech in melbourne says its normal... I disagree. Any thoughts/advice?

Re: Door closing sound
I’ve always liked the sound when the doors are firmly pushed (not slammed) - so I think yours is normal. Could you post a sound bite of it?

Re: Door closing sound
Both doors on mine make the exact same " ping " when closed .
I would say that it's inherent .

Hi
My car is an 86 and I wasn’t sure if that noise was right. My drivers door does it but my passenger side doesn’t.

Hi
Ironically I prefer the positive noise my passenger side makes. I’ll Add it to the ever growing list of items I need to do.
