i know this is a long shot, but my passenger side door panel seems to rattle over rough patches. the noise goes away when i job a thick cloth in the door jam. anyone have any advice? thank you in advance.

it's crazy how a rattle can make the whole car feel loose and poor.

 

My 2004 does the same thing. I thought about going to dealer and waiting it out. Let me know if u find out anything. SG

 

Sometimes the passenger seat belt buckle will bang against the door and it sounds like the door is rattling.... Next time it happens reach over and grab the seat belt and see if it stops.

 

that happens too. i already buckled the belt down.

 

I had my Window Regulator replaced under a TSB. When I first got the car back it rattled.... I could hear the window bouncing around inside the door. Since I had to take it back for some other work, they adjusted it for me. I think they just needed to tighten one or two screws down within the door....

My guess is something has come loose in your door. Have you taken the door apart for anything perhaps upgrading the stereo? If so, take it back apart and check all the screws and bolts? If not you could still do this yourself as well, might save you an un-needed trip to the dealership? I personally hate leaving my car somewhere for work unless I absolutely have to.

 

i jus whack the hell outta the door wherever its rattling and it shuts the hell up.

 

After having some work done on my car, it rattled inside the drivers door on the end right next to the latch.

It turned out to be one of the long metal lines that is actuated by the handle/lock and is attached to the latch, it wasn't properly secured in the plastic guide that holds it in place. Just had to push it into the clip and no more rattle. Super simple.
