Re: unusual noise from door latch

I've tried lubricating the pivot point as suggested on page 326 of the E class Owner's Bible, but this did not cure the noise. Any sugestions?

I had this - drove me crazy for about 2 years.

Used to get the wife to drive occassionally and I would ride shotgun opening and closing the door whilst on the move - so I knew it was the door - but could I find out why.......................nope!

So in desperation (coz it was driving me nuts) I tore up an old cigarette carton and fashioned it around the striker............and then slammed the freaken door closed. Drove off and .............silence.

Stopped, open passenger door, removed cardboard, closed door and drove off and ..................silence.

Been like that 2 years now and not a peep. Don;'t know what the exact problem was but hey who cares!!

Good luck
