So the past week i have noticed some ratteling in my drivers side door that sounds like a blown speaker. However it is much worse and rattles constatly. There is nothing in the door that would make it do this(i.e phone. cd case, etc) so what is the problem. Did i blow my speaker? The weird thing is that when i lean my leg against the door it stops. It almost sounds like the silver door trim is coming off or something. I am going crazy trying to figure out what is happening...

 

check for a leaf or twigs in the seams in between your door and the fender. Had a leaf in there on the pasenger side and it was driving me crazy until I found it.

 

This happened to me (but on the passenger side) when I had the security system installed. It was supposed to be in the car when I got it, but it wasn't so they ended up putting it in... And it was rattling.

But when I went back to the shop it wasn't doing it.

Then it started again.

Ghetto Fix... I ended up putting a balled up pair of socks into the storage area and it stopped it.

I'm embarrased to admit that, but I guess I have a pair of emergency socks or something now...

 

hahahaha thats great! what dealership did u get your scion from?

yea that must be it; because i like i said i wouldnt doubt it if it was a blown speaker; the only thing is when i rest my leg against it, it stops.
thanks for the tip i'ma go home and try it

 

Cherry Hill Toyota/Scion

p.s. Don't blame me if you get laughed at because of this gheto mod! ;)

 

That's genious! I'm going to do that b/c I have a small annoyance coming from the passenger side as well..............

 

I found that if my driver's window is all the way up the silver door trim rattles but if I lower it just enough to relax the pressure the rattle goes away. I think the window motor flexes the door frame and door panel/trim causing rattle/buzz

 

toyota told me theres prob something loose in the door...greattt

 

The Sock method didn't work?


I did forget to mention that you have to sort of jam said pair of socks up into the front of the storage bin to ensure a proper SSI (Sock per Square Inch) ratio.

 

You're a riot.!!!

 

OK Been there and fixed that,
Inside the plastic door panel is 2 peices of styrofoam that is rivited through using the inside silver trim. These seem to get a little loose, made a alarming/annoying buzzing sound. I bought clear silicon seal and squeezed it in between the foam and the backside of the door panel. If you have a hot glue gun that might work. The reason it stops when you push your leg agianst it is it pushes the door panel agianst the foam agianst the steel part of the door. Wont cost much $$$ at all.
Happy Thanksgiving every one !

 

my friend figured it out; inside the door handle thing it was a loose screw
