Default Door rattle from hell

My drivers door has had this rattle/buzz for a year, I fanally got motivated to take a look, pulled the door panel and it was just a loose screw on the Bose speaker assembly. Fixed!

Can't believe I lived with it for so long, doh!

was that caused by the slight bump you had Marc? I mean was the speaker removed to do the repair work and not tightened back up correctly?

Hurdi, Door looks like it never was apart so I think over time the crew just loosened up.

It's the vibration from those LOUD FisterDs loosened it up. Next thing your steering wheel will fall off!!

I've had this happen on a few cars. Super annoying and makes the speaker sound blown, when it's just lose.

Hey Mark it's a good job you don't live in Texas. You might have taken the door panel off to be greeted by a rattle snake hahaha.
