Default Problem with Speaker (near door handle)

i searched... and couldn't find anything... so...

my driver's door speaker (near the door handle) rattles when music is being played. and no, it is not because i have the music up high or the bass on too loud. i went over to check on the passenger's side speakers and it doesn't rattle at all, really quiet. would foam tape around the inside do the job or how? don't tell me i have to break the interior door panel to get to the litlte speakers or can i just pry it open?

well its not becasue of that speaker. its only tweeter and is not moving enough air to make the panel rattle. its the speaker down low that is likely causing the rattle up by the handle. you can try the foam tape or take it to the dealer and let them play with it.

I have that too in both doors =o( Although it alternates every now and then, one door will rattle while the other is perfect. Very frusterating... O WELL!

i bet its the plastic weather lining behind the door panel. i had this problem before. i just ripped mine out. lol , and it worked. put some padding behind the wiring thats on the door panel too, sometimes the white clips that hold the wiring come loose, and those rattle too. after i did that , the rattle hasnt came back...even though i eDeadened the door panels, and put padding on the whole thing lol
