08 Rattle Problem
A recent post about a rattle coming from pass side. I have this problem also, my wife says pushing on door panel stops it. Anyone else had this or know what the problem is.
Thanks in advance for your help.

I've had a door rattle and a dash rattle - each time it was a panel clip that came loose and "banged" against it's metal connector on the dash. If you can push against it and make it stop, that means that the clip has come loose somewhere. Have the tech pull the panel off and reseat it on all the clips. That should solve it.

Is it more of a rattle with a metallic sound or a squeak with the sound of something plastic that might be loose?
The reason I ask is that when I swapped out the door speakers on my 07, a few of the pins holding the door panel in place got considerably weakened. What happens now is that if I'm on the freeway I'll get an annoying little squeak that will go away if I push on the door panel.
Although it's doubtful that an 08 would have door pin problems it still might be a possibility.
