Default 96 SC300 - Door/wood rattle..

Hi all, I have a 96 sc300 it's great but the wood panel on the driver door rattles all the time, does anyone have instructions on how to get behind it? is it easy?

It's not too hard. Just remove the door panel and tighten the nuts that hold the wood trim. They get loose over time. Try searching for door panel removal.

Nice black interior. Thanks for the illustrations. Off topic but what did you(photobucket, imgageshack,tinypic?) use to incorporate the arrows and wording? Im horrible at posting pictures and describing things.

I went kind of overkill, I used Adobe Illustrator to do that, I do graphic design at work so I had that available. If you don't have that around here is an article from ehow on how to add text and arrows with Microsoft paint.

If you have a Mac (and you should because they're awesome!) You can use these instructions.

Nice write up. Forgot to add that Loctite would probably be a good addition to the threads.
