mines does the same thing, took it to mazda and they told me they can't replace the door handle because playing loud music isn't covered under warranty.

Haha, I had the exact same thing happen to me with my 3. They were planning on trying to put some stuff behind it to try and keep it from rattling but I sold the car before they were able to do that. It was most definately the door handle though, when you held onto it or pushed it against the door it on the outside it would stop the rattle.

take the mirror covers off and put some rtv on the clips and reinstall that will fix that one.

door handle isnt really fixable without just replacing it

Ya mine does it to. I've found that its the part of the door handle that doesnt

pull out if you understand that. Like its the side of the door handle that is

supposed to stay stationary and not pull out that rattles. I've tried using little

things that stop your cabinents from slamming. those worked for a little while

but not for long they just fell off. its starting to get really annoying.

Don't have a subwoofer, just an aftermarket headunit. It's really annoying any slightest bass, even on low volume will cause the passenger side door to rattle.

Stock BOSE setup here, with bass on +6 and high on +3.
When my passenger door handle rattles, it's so loud I cant tell whats rattling (theres a bunch of stuff inside the door that rattles too) but from the outside it's pretty obvious, if you push the handle with your finger you can make it stop.

too much door speaker bass...turn your audio plt off...then turn up your volume more. The factory bose systems in our 8s arent as great as they should be.

A solution to it, get a system in your trunk. So you can turn your bass down on your factory speakers.
