Bad Speaker?
 
I will try to explain this as best as I can, so sorry if it is confusing.

Once my 8 is warmed up and I am idleing, my driver's side door has a very annoying rattling coming from it. If I push on the middle of the door panel, the rattling stops, but once I let go it starts up again. Also, when I play a song with some bass, it sounds like the speaker has something loose and it rattling around in it.

Now, does that sound like I blew out my speaker, or is there something loose in my door and I need to remove the door panel?

Do you hear the rattle from the outside of the car too?

maybe it's in your mirror..

I haven't even thought about listening to the outside. Anyone know how to take apart the door panel so I can find out if anything is loose?

There is a thread called rattle hunt 06 or something like that... it has instructions I'm pretty sure. It's not too hard. Pop our the mirror black part where the switches are and there's a screw behind there. Look in the 'trash compartment' and there is another screw in there. pop off the tweeter if you have the Bose package and then start popping the white plastic door clips out. be careful and if something doesn't give... check to make sure there's not another screw in there.

Is this for the door panel or for the mirror?

Something is loose inside the door panel. When my car was under warranty i had mada fix the problem for me. You will have to remove your door panel.

Did they tell you what the problem was?

Umm i believe the door panel was loose and needed to be tightened up. It was a few years back.

Any idea how to do that by any chance? I am going to remove it either tomorrow or thursday and see if that is the problem.

invasion08 01-12-2010 08:10 PM

I have no idea never took the door panel off. Do a search i am sure there is a thread on how to remove the door panel

klanham08 01-12-2010 08:22 PM

I found how to take it off, any idea on how they tightened it?
