Interior Rattle

sorry to post this in 2 places but I should have put this in this subforum to begin with:

I have started to get an intermittent rattle over uneven pavement and slight bumps coming from the passenger side interior. Sounds like it's coming from either the window itself, from the door panel, or from somewhere around the passenger sun visor area. The window seems tight and the noise is there regardless of whether the window is up or down, and moving the sun visor around seems to have no effect either. I've taken everything out of the glove box to test out whether that was the problem, and it's still there.

anyone had anything like this and figured out what it was?

This sounds like the interior noise I discovered back in very late 2003 after driving SLICK for a few weeks. Look at the passenger side seat belt, if the arm is down it makes a noise, if it's up the fastener could be making a noise against the door. Enjoy the Ride!

Thanks for the suggestion. It's not the seat belt or fastener. Should have mentioned I ruled that one out already

I had annoying rattle on my driver side and it ended up being one of the screws under the aluminum trim on the door panel was loose tightened it up and no more rattling.

Interesting.. Do you mean under the trim on the grab handle?

Yep that's the one I can't remember what size socket it was for them but the bottom screw you need an extension

Thanks. I'll check it out. I believe my rattle is coming from higher up (like in the visor or upper window area) but who knows...sometimes ear can be deceiving.

Checked on the door handle bolts and they seemed tight, though strangely I didn't hear the rattle this morning. Damn these things are hard to chase down...

I have a dam rattle on my driver side. It's the window(up top) some reason if I close it using the automatic feature it does this but if I hold the switch the whole time, it doesn't rattle. Weird.
