NOT at all. The women all went to the spa and I got let with 4 kids to watch. So once they were home it was my turn to relax.

So just reading the first 2 pages I am assuming it is the latches on the doors correct?

That appears to be the case most often.
I taped mine almost a year ago. They are still quiet. A co-worker bought an '08 hold-over. The doors clunked badly. A little tape, and no noise.

The hindges have screws to keep someone from stealing your doors , you have to remove them before you can take your doors off. After i removed these screws....no more clunk...
