I have a rattle in the driver side door right below where the door lock **** is. If i push my elbow into that spot it stops. Any ideas..?

I have it too, kind of annoying but doesn't do it all the time. No idea what causes it.

I ran another search. This may be the cause..

You are my hero! Now i just have to figure out what removing the panel all entails.

I have it as well. My working theory is that wind is getting through the weather striping. I base this from the fact that I can make the noise go away by pulling the door "more closed."

Sadly, there doesn't seem to be a provision for adjusting the door latch like older cars.

EricTheOracle

That's not my noise. Bummer.

I've had a rattle right there as well. I'll have to pull the panel and check it out!

It seems about 99% of the time, the forums and internet community provide info on fixing minor problems far more effectively than any dealer can seem to manage.

Yeah that's for sure. I bet I've saved my dealers tons of diagnosis time over the years due to forums, but they still look at me like I'm crazy when I tell them what I think is wrong and why. I try not to tell them I found something on a forum.
