Mine just started doing this pretty bad...same setup, just the basic stereo, non-bose. I haven't looked into too much, but it would be nice if somebody knows what the heck it is that is rattling. I'll silicone it myself....

best and easiest way to deal with this is to just turn the music up louder. but if you are like me, an AM radio nerd half the time listening to ESPN radio, then its terrible cause there is no music to turn up. The bass in the guys voices is enough to cause the vibrations.

What you can do is if you want to keep going to the dealer there is actually a TSB for this where all it says is for the tech to hit the car with a rubber mallet wherever the owner complains that they are hearing the noise/vibration from. SWEEEEETTTT!!!!!

Mine was worse from the driver door arm rest or at least thats the one I heard the most. I found that a folded up receipt stuffed in between the rest and door panel in an inconspicuos place took care of most of it.

and oh yeah for us owners in colder climates get ready for more cause the plastic interior rattles more more every degree in temp drop.

I think they do but those guys and gals usually have their door panels and such off when they do their install and while they are at it they usually dynamat everything and reinforce the panelling to prevent this vibration. good luck with the piece of paper. i put it on/in the underside. so you cant see it.
