driverside door noise

When I hit a couple of bumps in a row when driving my door makes sounds like it isn't closed. It has been in the shop twice so far for this noise (that they can't hear) It seems a lot less noticable now but I am wondering if anyone else has similiar problems. BTW, it is a 02 Z vert.
Thanks

I have an 02 vert as well. I have heard many people complain about door alignment issues. I know the dealer will repair this under warranty.

Out of curiousity, how much wind noise to you hear with your vert? I expected some noise, but you deffinately know your in a vert when you ride in my car.

gregoryjb- it's been in twice. the first time, they said, "it is normal to have some door noise". The second time (now) I am not completely sure b/c of the weather I haven't been out too much, but rest assured if it is still there I will raise hell again until it is taken care of. As far as wind is concerned, yeah a vert is a vert when it comes to higher speeds 50+ with mine at least I hear it but ignore it by thinking of the summer whne it won't be a factor. haha

stik- I too thought it may be the window. I know if and when I go to car washes I tell the dry boyz NOT to hang on the g*damn window when drying my windows. ARRGH that really pisses me off. They sometimes just have not clue.

Shakes and rattles are all a part of F-body life, you just gotta get used to them.

Going along with stik6shift98, I do get a little bit of a rattle from my driver's side window when I close the door.
