Ok I'm new at this Model A thing despite my age.Bought the door bumper set from Macs and have the dove tails installed. Doors still rattle like crazy! Where do the other rubber bumpers go on the door?
Thanks for any help,pictures etc. appreciated.

I have the same deal going on the rubbers help dome but the rattle is coming from the door hinges being worn, might need toy and find some over size pins to install

You may also need to adjust the door striker. It could be too far out, so the door isn't tight to the opening.
 
I also agree with door hinges and door striker but also look at the latches themselves. If the latch is all worn out, it is hard to get the adjustment on the strikers correct and the doors will rattle.

Not sure I have all the holes required to install these bumpers but Ill see how this picture helps locate same. Thanks.
Btw my hinge pins are new and tight,door gaps look good and the striker latch adjustment feels right . Maybe some noise is normal?
 
My doors rattled, was missing the door bumpers, added the bumpers and adjusted the striker plate for a tight fit, rattles are gone. Occasionally get a rubber squeak, sprayed the bumpers with silicone, and squeaks are gone. In my case a snug fit on closing the door was one of the keys to get rid of the rattling.


Probably does not help, at this point I also am missing all door seals. On my list of things to do.
