Door card rattle - FIXED

[eriklieders]

rustling was heard in both doors. I did not put up with it and conducted an analysis to find the source of the sound. The source was found - it is a plastic insert on which the door card hangs. It is put on the metal frame of the door itself and dangles. The frame was covered with a thin rubber band and the plastic no longer dangles. Plus, my wife and I also glued rubber strips on top of the insert itself, on which the door card itself lies. Now both doors do not make a sound.

Nice to see the inside of your door. Always wondered how it looked like since I don't have the door modules.

I guess it's the large black box on the top corner of the door. Mine doesn't have that thing.

Very interesting, I have a similar rattle but it sounds like its more towards the bottom of the door, maybe even underneath the footwells.

Glad you fixed your door panel…..not sure why you called it a door card.

It is called a door card in the UK.

Do you have a sound clip of the noise? Trying to see if we have the same noise

unfortunately no. The sound is actually similar to the rattling of small plastic parts, in short, they come with the car

Did this fix work for you long term? My dealer attempted this fix on my driver door last January. They said they put cloth tape between that plastic piece and the metal door frame. The rattle was gone for a few months, but it started rattling again later.

Yes, there hasn't been any noise for a year now. You need to insert very dense rubber.

Does the window in the 3rd picture go down any further? On one of my doors, the window stops at that position, but the other window goes down further, such that you cannot see even a sliver of glass when the window is fully down. I was wondering if it was normal to see some of the glass when the window is fully down.

I have very annoying door rattles on both doors seemingly near the driver defogger vent/upper door speaker area. Driver side is really bad. I will have to take it apart and take a look. Tried pressing hard on everything from speaker area to A/C vents to A-pillar trim, even tried pushing on the cowl trim on the exterior of the car and the windshield area--can't identify the source.
