Does anyone know how to make the doors quieter when shutting them? (Rumor is '23 models fixed this issue)

[vzqhsg]

So,

Given all the aftermarket solutions out there, ranging from better cabin lights (thanks IAG!) to hardtops that are worth a darn (thanks ADV, looking forward to getting this in soon!) does anyone know the following:

1. Is there any kind of fix to make the doors open and close more like a regular truck (quieter, less rattly sound).
2. Did Ford quietly fix this on 2023 models? I've heard a few people say that, so was just curious.


Thank you for any input.

Here we go again. Buy a high end off road truck, don't slam the doors so hard? This ain't no Range Rover.

Eh, that’s not what’s happening my friend. It’s a noticeable issue that anyone who’s driven another suv or truck can notice. Seems like there is a common fix for it, and being that I appreciate anything that can enhance the quality of the ride (which in my opinion, cabin noise reduction does that) then these door mlv solutions solve that problem. Thanks for the comment, tho.

I close mine like i have some sense. I have never noticed any rattles from the doors no matter if i was inside the bronco or outside the brocno when i closed the doors. I guess just don't slam them like a crackhouse door

Look up the window adjust fix, that will fix the rattle if it's coming from the glass. Essentially a small bolt on the bottom of the door needs to be adjusted, takes 5 minutes.

You could always use sound deadener inside the doors. May be a PITA to do it all, but it will definitely help the "tinny" sound

Where is the 5 minute fix at?

Just saw Crutchfield has a solution from Soundskins for the Bronco. Might just go with that option.

I’d like to hear reviews on those.

under doors are 2 plugs ...take plugs out loosen and push towards outside of doors
this will help doors not rattle so much and reduce window flop when driving

I got them and will probably post something. I'm sure it won't turn it into a "Range Rover" (that's not what I'm looking for!) but I bet it will help with the door sound when it shuts, and also sound deadening for the better speakers and sub I put in.

Flip side is the doors are light for removal. Make them bulkier will make them somewhat more difficult to handle…if you do remove them which some people do not.

Most of the time mines ok but for some reason driver window seems not to come down in time and hits frame when I close quickly. Or something. And it rattles like hell.

Why would one want a Range Rover? They like repair shop waiting rooms?

I don't think this is what OP is referring to. IF OP is referring to the window death rattle when the window is partially lowered, this solution helps quite a bit. IF it's the door itself rattling, then it won't help. Though I have not experienced or really heard of the latter issue.

I was shocked how flimsy the doors sounded when I went to pick up muy Bronco. I bought it anyway. I hate that.
I figure its to keep them light for on-off .
still, I notice it every time I get out. cant stand it.

There is a ‘ hollow ‘ sound when you close the passenger door for me but anyway..my wipers work..no cracks in top, no leaks, no manual trans problems, my axles work fine with my sas takeoffs after some florida mud forrest drivin ), my RC 2 inch spacer lift works, my poor mans radio is not great but its good for me, I like my cheap 2 tone headlights..and so on..$ 33,400..

The Bronco is designed and built to do things off-road that 95% of all other vehicles CAN'T Do, and it does it pretty darn comfortably. It's a lot more comfortable than its closest competitor, the Jeep. For what it can do off-road it's pretty comfortable on the highway too. If you can't handle the way the Bronco sounds and feels on the road, trade it in for a Lincoln Navigator for a lot more money, but if you attempt to do what the Bronco can do off-road, you're going to break it, roll it, and hurt yourself.
