I uploaded two videos here to try and get some ideas of what this sound is before I open up the door card.
When the door latches shut this bouncy rattling sound comes out, like a piece of metal that's not tightened down enough. It seems to be coming from right behind the door handle somewhere. Hard to tell. It doesn't happen when I simply tap the door anywhere, only when the door latches shut. It's much more pronounced on the outside of the door than when sitting inside, but it's there still regardless. The passenger side seems to have a looser frequency sound than the drivers side, but it still seems like the same thing going on on both sides. I shined a flashlight in that hole you open to change the door handle gaskets, but its tough to see anything. I've moved the latch mechanism around on the body of the car, but that didn't change anything. With the windows down, the sound goes away mostly, but it's still there. Any thoughts before I go and take the door panel off?
Thanks ahead of time..
