Hi for the past two months my drivers side door rattled everytime i drove over rough road and i must say it drove me crazy, so i took my 8 to mazda and on four occasions they couldnt find a rattle they said my seat was creakin and that they had put fibre washers between the bolts which hold the seats down and said see if that fixes the ratlle, well it didnt so this morning i asked the crew at Hodgson Mazda in the north east of england if i could watch them remove the door panel and if i could spot out the rattle to them.
Finally i spoted out to them what was causing my rattle and it was a small metal clip which holds the handle mech together inside the door unit finally Mazda had fixed the loose part by greasing it up and surrounding it with insulation foam.
so if any of you are having the same problem as me that is normally the case with the door as this part can usually come loose with time.
I must say my Mazda garage were outstanding when doing this work and kept me notified exactly what they were doing to rectify my problem. :D

 

Well thanks. If my door ever rattles I will be sure to tell Mazda that.

 

can u explain the rattle sound on your door? my rattle sounds like the metal hitting against glass or some crackling sound. I know when i push into the bottom storage part, it quiets down. Same sound?

 

Pictures please

 

I had what sounded like a metal on metal squeaking sound coming from my pass side foor. Also when the door was opened/closed it made very loud clicking noise. They found the door hinge was over tightened. They loosened it a bit and lubed it and its been silent since.
