After noticing that my car had the 2G door rattle problem on both doors, I came to the forums for a solution. By utilizing the search button, I'd found a lot of helpful information.
On my passenger door, I managed to essentially eradicate the door rattle or window rattle noises. I started with adjusting the 2 felt pad brackets near the top of the door panel but that wasn't enough. After further searching, I found out about the plastic window clip that mounts to the frame. After gently squeezing it in a vice to close it, the rattle stopped and everything sounds normal.
The driver's side door I could not solve, however. After adjusting the 2 felt pad brackets as well as the plastic window frame clip near the front of the door, I was still getting a rattle. Instead of the sound coming from the front side of the door (facing toward the front of the car, that is), I feel as though I heard the noise coming from the rear of the door. Somewhere near or under the door handle, on the inside.
I couldn't quite pinpoint the source of this rattle, and it is still there for now. I'm wondering if there are any bolts or the like to tighten down to make this stop. Anybody have any suggestions for me?
Side note: Where can I purchase extra "christmas tree" plastic clips that hold the door panel on? Whoever was in there before me broke or lost about half of them. Strange, I manage to take them off without breaking them...
