K, I know I already did a guide on this subject and you all are getting sick of my guides about this, but bear whit me once again because this time it removed all the rattle.
Its easy and a you just need a knife.

On this pic is shown a rubber pin (or what ever you want to call it) and its designed to hold the doors down corner from moving when the door is shut.

The rubber gets ÒeatenÒ away in time, so the door can move in that part and automatic lifts this end

so the window isnt firm in place.
You just need to pull the rubber pin off whit a knife, its glued on, and turn it 180?, so the down part goes up.
Or get some rubber about 2/3 mm thick and glue it on the door, on this place. (circle under the reflector)

The second move is to put one, or one and a half turn of electric tape on the door hinge, this will then pull the door more ÒinÒ and lean the door on the rubber again.

If you dont have any rubber pin on the chassis of the car, you can make one (like me),

or you can buy one from Fiat (dont know if they stock them)

And thats it :)

Sven,

I used to have noisy doors.
Used to drive me mad. Creak creak creak became the soundtrack to my driving time.

Took it to Fiat and in the end they agreed it was far too noisey and replaced all seals.
I don't know what year your Bravo was built, but it seems on the first batch, the seals weren't as good as they could have been. If I remember correctly, they had a felt like finish to them (we're talking top of the door frame).

Every now and again, I apply some Silicon grease, leave for a few minutes and rub away to a clean surface. Noise goes away, plus it seems to clean and condition the rubber.

Years later, the doors are still quiet.

Now I have a slight noise which seems to be coming from beneath the windscreen (you can just about see a rubber mounting block on the lower left where the dash ventilation holes are). Any advice?
 
@Tom i know about the seals, but this is easyer and cheaper.
What your problem goes, you must post a pic because I dont get you
