Rattle in drivers door

I have a rattle in my driver's door that is driving me nuts. I have taken the door off to install components and also Dynamatted the door. Now when I drive on rough roads, I hear a rattle coming from the door. It seems like it's coming from the top of the door, maybe even the window. I only really hear it when the windows are up. If I lower the window a little, the rattle is not as loud, but is still there. I have used a lot of weather stripping to try to solve the problem and still no solution. Also, the speakers and cross-over are solid and I do not think that they are the source of the rattle. Any thoughts?

Yes, that's exactly what it sounds like. Have you been able to pinpoint it? I will probably try to fix it again this weekend.

I've had a rattle for the past couple weeks that comes from the passenger side of the car, towards the back and it's been driving me crazy! I had some stereo work done and it started right after, well last night in the garage with the door closed I turned the stereo on and turned the base up, I sat in the car and sure enough it started, I got out and walked around the car and discovered it was the stupid license plate frame! I put double sided tape between the plate and the frame and no more rattle. I know yours probably isn't from the frame, but it did sound like it was coming from the passenger side, maybe the way sound travels it was coming under the car. Just a thought.

Thats what mine was as well...Take the little red reflector thing off the door and look inside and you will see a plastic tab thats broke and its laying on the bottom and it rubbing against the door. Thats what mine was...one of those plastic tabs broke some how.

Angry Window rattles

Argh! My '04 Coupe has developed a rattle in the driver's door as well. Except my rattle only happens when I roll the window all the way down. It sounds like creaking/rattling when I hit bumps in the road, or when I'm turning out of a driveway. It doesn't *seem* to be coming from the speakers, but more like the window pane itself.

Does anyone else had the rattle when the window is rolled all the way down? If so, have you successfully fixed it? I'm thinking about bringing the car into the dealer to have them fix it under warranty, but I don't want the tech to drive the car and then claim that there's no rattle...

complain to your dealer, they'll fix it.

I have a friend with a IP 2006 G35 coupe, only had 600 miles on it and started rattling.

Mine has rattles too, when the music is at a certain level and certain song(depending what key the song is in....) . Also the window rattle on the driver side, I just adjust the window up and down, it'll stop.

Stupid rattling Gs...

My driver side does the same thing with the window rolled down. I haven't noticed it really with the window up, but I try to drive with the window down almost all the time anyways.... so maybe I just haven't driven enough lately with my windows up to notice it.
