Hi Everyone.

When I get a few moments without the kids in the car, I turn up the music, but when I get a little bit of bass or thumping, there is a rattle on the driver side somewhere around my head, I can’t figure out exactly where the rattle is from.

Just wondering if anyone else has had a rattle in that area and if you were able to address it? There’s a lot of loose fitting panels around this area, and I’m just trying to narrow it down. Of course, I’m looking for a quick easy fix.

Thanks

Same + passenger door.

Not just loud music though--sometimes just a podcaster's voice sets off the rattle frequency.

Hello. There are plenty of threads on here about that issue. It was happening in my Pro and I was able to get it fixed it at the dealer. Essentially, there are a lot of wires and connectors running through the vehicle and in the door, they weren't properly affixed and when the volume goes up and there is a lot of bass, it rattles. The dealer made sure they were tied down correctly and I believe put additional material in there to ensure it wouldn't "buzz". It's been about 10,000 miles since it was fixed and haven't had any other issues.

I can replicate the vibration when I tap the door panel. Is this where other’s are hearing the vibration.
