driver side door handle rattles
 
hi all...long time since my first post...

well when i play music pretty loud..lets say above 12 my driver side exterior door handle rattles with the bass...doesnt seem to happen on the passesnger side and i got it checked out at mazda last week and they pulled the door apart then put it back together and they said they cant do anything about it...just wandering if anyone else had this problem...

some DIY or ways of fixing would be great....

thanx

This is NOT the first car that has this problem. No one found the cause yet. Some said it is the seat beat rail (which I think it is). Some said inside the rear door.

Any rattle in the car travels. So it may not be at the back. Sometime the e-Tag (the one on the windscreen for Melbournians' City Link) is rattling. Sometimes even the sunnies in the top compartment makes loud rattles.

Bottom lines: can be anywhere. Even the coin box ;)

thx for the reply but i think u missed my point...


well...i have checked everywhere...and i positive its me exterior door handle on driverside...i know this coz when i play loud music i hold the door handle and no rattle...i dont hold ratte starts...so im definite about it being the driver side exterior door handle~

take it back to the dealer and this time don't leave until it is fixed....take a copy of Back in Black or the 1812 Overture with you.

If it doesn't rattle when the cannons go off, it's fixed.

Go "music guru" mez.

I also seem to have a slight rattle from within the drivers side door around the level of the door handle.Seems to be noticable only when driving on rougher roads.
Anyone else with this problem?

Regards
