If your door makes this noise and it really irritates you when you get out of the car then it can all be solved for £3.16! Buy one of these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281773382465?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT (I am not selling these myself, but I found this easier to get posted than drive to the dealer and buy a large bag). The drivers door on my 1FM made an awful noise. I took all the door card off and looked to regrease the check strap, but that didn't work. I then tried a different check strap and that wouldn't fit / didn't work. I put my finger on the check strap and moved the door so it went onto the notches and felt a large vibration when it cracked. The roll pin had been replaced with a stud and split pin and this was not absorbing the shock. I took the stud out and then tapped in the new roll pin with a drift and a hammer and it was all fixed. I was that excited that it was fixed, that I took some video of it in action. However looking back at it now, it is one of the most boring videos I have ever seen, so I won't subject you to it!!
