For the rattle in the door there is a TSP and they fixed mine. Now I found that the door was only a small part of the noise. Drive with the window open and hold the mirror (the glass) and see if the rattle stops. Mine did.......................back to the stealer I go
Rattles
For anyone with the rattle at/above 2500rpm when cold that’s coming from under the car I just fixed mine over the weekend. There is also a TSB on it somewhere but the fix is so simple I just did it while doing my oil change. My transmission bellhousing cover was causing a really!! Loud rattle for the first 20mins or so of driving for the day that started right around 2500rpm. The trans cover is only held by two bolts near the top of a semi-circular thin metal plate. This plate doesn't sit tight against the bellhousing at the bottom and vibrates against it like a drum or a tuning fork at certain rpm's causing the rattling sound.
Simple Fix:
1) Remove the two bolts from the cover.
2) Pry the cover away from the housing slightly with a screwdriver/prybar etc to open up the gap so you can work
3) Get some thin 3M double sided tape like used to attach emblems (Found some at hardware store), clean the two surfaces a little and place a half inch wide strip about 4 inches long along each side.
4) Reinstall the two bolts and torque then down snug, which will squeeze down on the 3M adhesive and it’s not going anywhere.
5) Enjoy having no rattle at 2500rpm.
I had a rattle under the car since new and always thought my engine sounded kind of rough at 2500rpm but never 'felt' rough if you follow. After the above mod the harshness I was hearing around those RPMS is totally gone and no more annoying rattle.
As for the doors I pulled the door switch covers off one day and found the wires going to the switches was just left long and loose inside the door panel and it would vibrate at certain freqs with the stereo. I twisted up the extra wire and stuffed a little soft upholstery foam down in the cavity below the switches and now it’s all quiet. As stated above the little covers behind the door handles rattle too, take a tiny bit of the left over 3m doubled sided tape from above and put it at the 4 corners of that plastic piece, snap it back in and no more rattle there either.
Sorry I don't have the dash rattle so I have no clue on that one.
