Default Hunting down a rattle and fixing it (passenger door handle trim)

The trim peice that houses the tweeter and door handle has a vicious rattle in it. Anyone had this before and how to I fix it? Do I have to pull the whole door trim or does this peice pop out by itself?

Default Think you have to pull the whole assembly (tweeter + handle) and replace it completely.

They have them on ECS

Default Most likely the spring inside the door handle is broken. Marx is correct, you must

replace it completely. The part is about $50 from a dealer.

Default Remove the door panel, STFA - it's very easy to do

Then you can pull back and foam liner and inspect. If that spring is broken, you would know by a really limp/floppy door handle ;0

I have a perfect passenger door handle assembly if you need.
