Buzz in driver's door
My car has a really annoying vibration in the driver's door, right around where the mirror connects (or in that general vicinity). Anyone else had this? Is there an easy fix?

don't have one near the mirror, but have had one near the arm rest...
They had to tighten it up, and it appears to be good to go now. Though that's not the best rattle I've had. Rolled my window down one day on my way home from work, and every bump sounded like the damn door was falling apart. In fact, I could hit the door and it would rattle like a MF. Ended up being the power window tracks were ridiculously loose. My current battle is with a rattle which sounds like it's in the passenger door, and after several trial and error attempts I believe I have located it in the glove box. If I pull and hold the release lever the rattle goes away. Haven't taken it in to get it replaced yet though. I feel like I have had every rattle/vibration possible...kinda frustrating to say the least. I will finish with this, it may sound like its coming from the passenger door, but it could be coming from somewhere else. Sounds have a funny way of traveling around within the car. I speak from experience. Thought I had a vibration in the passenger door, but ended up being up in the dome light/Homelink/map light housing. Sorry for the length of my post, but just wanted to get everything I've dealt with in the hopes of saving someone else the headache.

Yes, I even know where it's coming from and how to fix it :-)

See the plastic piece the arrow is pointing to in the image? Open the door and lightly tap on it like 3 times, see if it's loose. That's where the rattle comes from. What you do is, take off that plastic piece and put something underneath so it closes tight and the rattle will go away

I have a passenger door one too
I notice it when I'm going over bumpy roads, but it's pretty quiet on smooth roads. I think there's a TSB about it being loose speaker wiring that just needs to be tied down or matted down. I need to bring it in soon.
