Door Rattle Fixes?

Spaceme1117 · 12-01-2021, 08:02 AM

I purchased a used 2017 2SS earlier this year and have no regrets. Definitely one of the best cars I have ever owned.

But I have a rattle in my driver's side door. It sounds like it is coming from behind my left shoulder near the top of the door.

From searching, I have read it could be parts of the door latch.

The other common rattle I have read about are the black plastic plugs on the bottom of the door.

Are there any other potential areas that could rattle?

I am about to order some 80mil Kilmat to line the doors, trunk, and interior this weekend to quiet the interior.

Are there any other problem areas to know about?

Over my left shoulder on the driver's side I would also consider the seat belt take-up mechanism. I have had those rattle in other cars.

I had the rattle too. Spent time and money trying to figure it out. I Dynamat the doors, tightened screws, play around with the seat belt mechanism, even add adhesive to a few pieces that might be loose. Didn't solve it. One day I'm cleaning the car and wonder if maybe having the passenger seat back all the way is the issue after reading it somewhere on the Camaro5 forum. Slid the seat up about an inch or two and no more rattle.
