Annoying Door Rattle

[BronzeEddie]

I have a rattle somewhere around the drivers door area. It only occurs when I'm driving at highway speed. I dont hear it when I go over rough spots around town. Guess I'll have to take it to a dealer but I'm not getting my hopes up. A real annoyance for a used vehicle I purchased that has only 15K miles on it and looks really nice.

Check that it is not the seat belt where it attaches at the bottom.. mine drove me crazy and only rattled when it got a little loose around the waist. A tinny sounding rattle, that took me months to find!

Mine was the rear door handles.

Well I have a similar problem, except my passanger seat rattles when someone sits in it and it is annoying as hell. I checked all bolts and everything is fine. Just sounds like bolt is loose but never could find the source.

I’m confident the dealer will take care of you, BronzeEddie. Keep us in the loop!

shaker1 & TexasArmadillo,

Thanks for the great recommendations.

Have you tried going to the dealer, rusty813? I recommend doing that so they can narrow down the source of the noise.
