Thanks for the tip about Rubber the right way. I ordered some more fuzzies and window channels just like in your Panama. Some bitumen sound deadening is also in the mail. I hope to get the doors feeling solid and rattle free.
Cleaning and lubing the lock mechanism has helped, and I put a plastic disk, and a rubber washer behind the metal washer to quiet up the lock mechanism. I'll have to make sure everyting still works when I put the door panel back on.
The bent threaded rod in my last pic actually looks OEM. The washers are a little hokey, but they seem to work.
I'll post a pic later of my washer/spacer setup that feels pretty good.
