There are a number of things that can be loose in the door panel. You will have to get in there to do a visual inspection. Luckily, the panel isn't that hard to remove.


Now may be the time to decide if you want to upgrade the speakers.

From what I've heard (no pun intended!!), the little Bose tag, on the speaker grill, can get loose and rattle.
