anyone experienced "jingle" noise from inside the rear doors?
it's getting to the point of extreme frustration

The brake rotor's stone shields rattle over certain corrugations.

Perhaps it's covered by this TSB:

i'm positive it is not the exaust,

in certain conditions you can hear it inside "both" doors

i think a thread i read very long ago said it was the seat belt coil or something like that......not sure

I observed that small rattle time to time also. It sounds like a small metal rod that got loose in the door(s). It comes and go though.

I found the rattle on my door too - gee it is annoying.

Have you realize KARCPA?

Noise and suiside does not go well together. It is usually not a successful one if both occurs. hehe

Hey are you sure its the actual doors or the passanger seat belt.

My girlfriend was sitting in the back yesterday night and i asked her to listen to where the noise was coming from and she grabbed the seat belt as i was driving i took a few corners hard and a few bumps on the road and no noise.

I believe it was the passanger seat belt it was coming from on my car.

Regards
Phillip
