Default Door rattle 2004 C4S Cab (FIXED)

Guys

When I hit bumps the drivers side door in the latch area rattles. You can actually see it bounce up and down. Don't get that from the passenger side. Could the door latch be bad?

Thoughts?

Is the window working properly? It is supposed to go down~1/4" when the door is opened and pop back up when the door is shut. If it isn't down prior to closing the door, the door won't shut fully and that would cause a rattle.

That is all working correctly. You don't get it with top and windows up. No sounds from the regulator either.

I have a rattle with my passenger window down, nothing with it up. Sounds similar to yours, I'm going to pull my door panel to investigate.

Mine is up or down. I lowered the latch catch last night but did not get a chance to take her out for a bump test. Will tonight or tomorrow

Guys, I fixed this. I raised the door latch (on the body not the door) to its max height and it closes firmly and does not jump around.

Makes sense after so many years of being beat down. Hope this helps someone else.
