Exclamation Rattling / Vibrating Doors

My doors rattle while I drive or if my music is too loud. It's not the end of the world, but wanted to know if its just my luck or does this happen to anyone else. Also, what have you done to fix it?

I personally have the most irritating rattle in the door or somewhere... It's a soft rattle but very audible... constantly makes the noise going down the road.... ARGH and I cannot find it.

Sorry that you have the rattle, but I'm glad to see it's not just me. I have tried to wedge the door tighter, but not too much success If you can find it and let me know, I'll do the same

Default got one too.

My car has 50 miles on it and I've got the same rattle. I'm going down next weekend. The dealer said they will fix it. I'll let you know what the problem is when they do.

Sometimes I find the rattle is the little red reflector on the door.

I have a rattle between the door and the door frame right below where the window stops and the door begins. It sounds like two parts rubbing each other.

I hear the same rattle in my door when I play music loud. But it also rattles with broken pavement. I found Than if I push hard on the door panel it stops. Just wondering how can it be permanently fixed.

I have the exact same symptoms as ricastm8, but it's been really hard so far to really figure out exactly where it's coming from.

I'm pretty sure it's the plastic rattling. Dynomat should cure most of the problem, but I don't like the idea of having to add weight to the car to get rid of my problem. I'm considering stripping out the sound deadening material in the doors and replacing it with Dynomat Lite, but we'll see...

I have done this yet it does not fix the rattle I have as it is outside of the door in the door jam.
