The problem is due to the misalignment of the striker bolt on the car chassis - it's that metallic U rod that holds the car door closed. As the chassis flexes when you drive, the striker bolt rubs against the catch, causing the tik tik sound you hear.

To solve this, you have to realign the striker bolt. The screws require a Torx, which would be the only problem you face as its quite difficult to source. The size is T11 if I'm not mistaken, so make sure it fits before you buy them. It'll cost you less than RM10, and it looks like an oversized Allen key.

Loosen the two screws, and use your finger to tighten them. Close and open the door a few times to get the striker bolt properly into place, then screw a quarter using the key. Rinse and repeat until the screws are very snug and tight (the amount of strength you used to loosen the screw will be an estimate on how tight it should be) and you should have a tick-free door after that.

Hope it helps for you.

edit: The torx head size is a T40, and not a T11 as I mentioned

Made a mistake - the torx head size is a T40, and not a T11 as I mentioned previously.

25W x 4. It's in the manual.

Using Sierra Glow here, 3 months+ so far.

It's not exactly in KL, but sadly there's only one place which you can get it done. By far it's the cheapest package compared to the others too. Perhaps you can try Opti-Coat? I've heard good things about them.

Happy to help.

RM500. And the sooner the better

IINM the brackets and cabling do not match, and you'll get an 'Err' word at the range meter. Would likely work if you had good experience on electronics though

Just like exercise, it's good to stress out the car once in a while

No problems on my previous Curve here.

Are your MP3 files damaged by any chance? Do other portable players exhibit the same issue?

I just switched to a BB 9700 - works fine as well. How are you trying to connect your phone to your HU? And are you using the flush or LCD version?

I suggest you bite the bullet and save up. Good quality and workmanship definitely don't come cheap

On a side note, why couldn't our manual versions display the gear you're on at the D4 area

There isn't a need to drill - the set just includes a harness that goes from under the glovebox wiring to the speaker at the left side of the car.

Car all purpose cleaner and a cotton bud. The problem is due to dirt lodged in the paint.

Clean area, dip cotton bud into APC, clean off dirt and wipe off residue. The sooner you do it the better.

There is an icon on our meter cluster - just it's not lit for some reason. Probably there is no bulb in there.

It is normal. You don't switch on your headlights during the day, hence you need the meter cluster to be bright to view it properly in broad daylight. Consequently, it is the opposite at night - it dims when you switch on your headlights as it will be too glaring in the dark.
