Check your door panel fixings, the top corner by the door locking pin should be a red fir clip, not the normal white or grey clips, Mine were rattling and this sorted them out, the door locking at 5 mph i because you have speed locking activated, this can be taken off with a T4....

hi mate.

the rattle does seem to come from inside the door and the panels themselves feel firmly fixed,i do think they have been taken of at sometime though.

Stick your finger over the door lock pins and see if it stops the noise, if it does, a McDonalds drinking straw cut down and fitted over the pin should quieten things.

Don't take it as gospel !

It's just what I've gleaned from the forum

Check the door locking motors and window mechanisms are tightly done up. My passenger door used to make a horrible clatter when someone closed it as a nut was missing from the window mechanism.

Hi guys,

Will give them all a try I do think it could be the mechanisms or window motor though
