This is not supposed to happen w/ my perfect car but, I've got a rattle coming from what appears to be my driver side door. It has 81k and I've owned it for 2 years. All it has needed so far is oil, so I'm somewhat chagrined that this has come up. I'm really not looking forward to the dealer pulling apart the door but I think that may be the only solution. Any members have a similar problem? Any suggestions for a solution?

Did you check the map pocket for spare change?

Yeah, that's the 1st thing I checked. I then removed the engine covers because they had not been secured w/ the proper push pins but, that was not the culprit either.
 
It takes all of about 2 minutes to do anything. The trick is to do it properly and not destroy your car.
There are multiple YouTube videos on taking the panels off. If you take it to a dealership, I suspect you will have at best a 50/50 chance that the tech will care more about not breaking your stuff than you will.
 
I think the main point is that the door panel is designed to be removed fairly easily, so don't stress too much about problems being caused by removal. Now if that rattle were inside your dashboard.... :bang:
