Door panel noise

[RangerKody]

I have an annoying door panel rattle that happens when the volume is up a little or I hit rough road. It’s very annoying. I located it to be behind the top part of the door panel on the passenger side. Does anyone know if there are instructions to removing the panel so I can get behind it? I figure it’s loose adhesive or something. Not sure but definitely want to take care of it. When I press on the part circles in red, the noise goes away but when I release it the noise occurs again.

This may sound crazy, but make sure the passenger seat belt isn't stuck in between the b pillar and the seat sideways. This happens almost every time someone sits there, and then it rattles. Super annoying.

No kidding. This is pretty glaring, surprised Ford's NVH guys didn't catch it.

Every time I use vehicle after a passenger has been in it, I have to turn the passenger seatbelt so it doesn't bang against the door. Good thing it is a narrow vehicle and able to lean over easily! Anyone else notice how much noise the rear seatbelts make when you are driving with windows open?

@OC4095 already did it: Factory Speaker Size On a Crew Cab (non B&O)

Fixed it. The rattle was coming from the door latch cord up against the frame of the door. All fixed!!

 

[Toytec]

Kody, you ever want to move up to Carolina I'll put in a good word for permanent position of squeak and rattle guy
Good work!

 

[RangerKody]

I had a little noise again when the base is going. Found it again! This time all points on contact that this cord will vibrate on have been covered.

Lol. That’s where it was hitting so wanted to cover all the areas. Haha. That rattle was sooooo annoying

How hard is it to pop the cover off? I have a similar rattle and would bet money it's coming from the same thing. When certain bass tones hit, even on lower volumes, I get a light rattle coming from somewhere in the door. The last think I want to do is screw up my paneling thought. It's a Lariat model if that matters. Any advice on how to do this is appreciated. Thanks!

Hey there. Wasn’t too hard. Undo the 4 screws and then popped it off. You have to pop off the top speaker housing too. Also hold the window trip piece where that meets the plastic door trim. I had a little noise from that too. What I did was found a low base sound on YouTube and plugged in my phone and played it and pressed on certain spots to find where I needed to focus my efforts then went in after it. Lol
