I put the larger aftermarket ones on my S2. Still rattled a bit, but that may be because you have to spend a bit more time to set them up properly than I gave it. But a more satisfying "clunk" when closing the door.

So I have a set of S2 pins spare if you want to give them a try.

I put insulation tape on my S2 pins... seems to have stopped the rattle for now.
I have no signature.

It'll stop it till the tape wears through, then you need to add more new tape :wink:

I'd strongly recommend the after market oversized pins available off ebay, they have a wider head section and aren't just oversized off the shelve things.

Expensive but my doors are totally rattle free, also close with a very satisfying clunk and have perfect shutlines (something which is hard if impossible to get adjusting the standard.

this was who I used a while ago but don't think there's any available.

They were tying to organise a group buy of these on Pistonheads a few weeks back - might be worth try there?

Could always take measurements from my pins and machine your own!
