Does it with my exhaust and speakers if you put your hand right on the door handle it will stop but remove your hand and it's back. Need some dynomat under there or something.

My door panels, A-pillars, and something on the rear deck all rattle. Definitely time for some sound dampening. Sad thing is, I don't even have the bass set very high. It's on +2, and I usually only turn the volume up to about 18-20.

I have downpipe... no resonator or cat...
And I have bass set at +2 treble at +5 (I think, or something pretty close) no sub and I listen to cd's at 30-35... And I don't have rattles from either the exhaust or radio... Maybe I've gone deaf from listening to the radio that loud & just can't hear it...
Or... all the other noises drown out the rattling!!!

I noticed this since I got the car. 2 things cause it. The air pressure from the speaker in the door pushes on the little trim panel, the speaker itself makes it vibrate. Need to take the little panel off and put something between it and the door. I don't know how to get them off.

The vanity mirror covers on the visors also vibrate against the headliner, probably the most annoying vibration I have. I need to get those clear little rubbery things that you put on cabinet doors and use those to stop the vibration.

Man, I wish that my rattle was that easy of a fix. Mine is the one that sounds like its in side the passenger side of the dash. I took a good listen to it, and it sounds like it is actually near the fire wall. I tracked it some more, and I now believe that it may be the cowling under the wipers.
Still working on it.
