If I take my car to an audio store where they do installations, will they....

Be able to remove some, if not, most of the rattles from the car?

When I first bought the G, I did not hear any rattles when I played music with heavy bass, but now it's been nearly two years and it's reached the point where I don't enjoy the music that much cause of the rattles. I was wondering if I could take it to an audio place and request for them to look in the door panels and what not to remove anything that is causing the rattles.

A good shop will be able to take car of that task. Can get pricey since there is a process to it and takes time.

Most places are between 50-75 dollars/hour around me .. and if you want them to be careful so as not to break anything taking down interior components, it'll be pricey --agreed.

You will find more and more rattles over time regardless of what they take care of now and it'll cost you to take care of the current ones. I've taken the entire car apart in an attempt to ensure rattle-free operation with limited success.

Depending on where the rattles are, you may have good luck cutting up foam and pushing it into places to help stop rattles.

I think most of it comes from the two front doors, so I was thinking it wouldn't be so difficult.

Like said before. More will pop up as time goes by. If your a little handy then doing this yourself would be worth it so when new ones come up you are a step ahead. Its a very easy job. Just taking time and finding what works best to kill the rattle. I think it was DaveB that did a write up on fixing the rattles. May do a search and see if its a job you can handle or even do it with a friend.
