Hello, i just bought a 95 GSX and when i have the stereo at a reasonable volume and even when just driving without the stereo on my door panels like to rattle. I was just wondering if there was anything i could do to tighten them or something? Thanks for the help!
 
Just a thought....(had this happen before) try and take the panels off and make sure everything is tightened down.. Also if that dont work, stuff something in the crack or area that the rattle is coming from... Is it a creek from the plastics of the door, or is it some sort of metal rattle from the body? If its the body I would just go with some Dynamat.
 
On my car some of the clips are broken that hold the panel to the door. I would check that first and then like ncaligst98 said if you can't fix the clips or anything, stuffing something inbetween the panels is a good short term fix.
 
I had the same problem, it wasn't when I was driving, it happened more when I closed the door shut. I took off the panel, and tightened the window tracks down. I gave it a quick shake and it was loose, so after I tightened it up, the noise was gone. I've also heard of the weather stripping on the door where it meets the window causing some problems. If the stripping is old, the window isn't tight, so it rattles when you slam your door. But I dont really think that applies to your case if you only here it when your driving.
