Right- search engines not givin me any satisfaction.

I'm sure i'm not the only one with annoying noises from door trim. They seem a bit too flimsy and vibrate n squeak. Anyone come up with a solution? I thought about reinforcing them some how.Anyone done this and what did you use?
Also I have rattles from the rear hatch. I thought it was the boot lock at first. No. Then the jack. No. I cant find it and its driving me mad! It's not the plastic trims around the hatch either. Anyone give me a clue?

some of the rattling might be coming from clips that hold the trim in the rear hatch. Try removing the trim and see if the noise goes away. The other option is to have someone ride in the back and try to isolate the location of the sound.

When that happened to me it turned out to be a slightly loose 3rd brake light mount. Tightens in 2 spots from inside the rear hatch. Worth a closer look maybe? Drove me nuts too til I found the prob.

yeah our cars have defantly loosened up over the years. Mine rattles like crazy with my subs that i no longer have. As for the door pannel, its sometime vibrates againts the dash. I really don't know how to fix this problem.
