Default rattle or squeak in the passengers interior door

Hey guys, have you guys ever experienced any rattles while driving, in the interior around the passenger side door? Is this normal? It rattles, not noticeably but it kinda bugs me. Thanks

You sure it isn't from the safety belt?

I had the door storage compartments rattle a bit. I'm talking about the ones that swing out to open in each of the front doors. I added some 1/8th inch gasket tape to where the pocket panel touches the door panel when closed and that did the trick. The gasket tape you can get at Home depot for cheap, it comes in a roll in different thicknesses, it's like a foam tape with some rubber on top. Not sure if that is your problem but try to firmly press against the storage pocket while driving to see if the rattle goes away.

My driver's door handle area (right hand drive) rattles too, but not always. It's the plastic trim behind the door handle which i felt a bit loose that causes it.

Any ideas how to tighten that piece? See pic.

I had a rattle in my front passenger door when my car was new. But it mysteriously disappeared in a month and never reared it's head again.

You may want to make sure that all the door panels are securely fastened. Push the door panels inward to make sure all the clips are engaged.

Yes, the dealer knows how to fix these issues. I had a rattle in the driver door. they said they took it apart and replaced a piece of the panel.

The worst was the most annoying rattling that would come from the dash(middle part and by the glove compartment)

Took it to the dealer and the PROBLEM IS SOLVED. Basically, what they did is add more insulation in there to stop the rattling. so far so good!
