Door panel rattles
 
I had an LED strip put on the bottom of the interior of my door and now I can hear the door panel rattling. Do yall know how to fix that? Maybe some double sided tape?!! It only hear it when bass comes through the door speakers. Thanks

Its just held on by clips- maybe one didn't get snapped back in all the way? I'd try to reseat the panel by pushing on the panel, getting the clips to snap back in.

Try foam that also works.

Go to your local auto parts store and purchase this tape: 3M Molding Tape

I think one of the clips is broken. If I push alittle on the top left corner of the door, I feel it pop in but I let go and it comes back out abit. Do I just put the tape next to the clip?

Pick up a new clip from your dealer.

Is the clip a factory clip or the aftermarket clip holding the add-on LED strip? If it is the aftermarket you can take some silicone caulking, spread it around in the clip area, and then use 3M blue painters tape to hold into place until it dries. You can then drive around without the rattle or until you can have a replacement clip installed. Pics would really be very helpful for us to see to further assist you.

I'm not gonna bother with pictures right now. It has to be the factory clip because the leds on the door have double sided tape holding them on. I guess I'll try and order a new clip and if that doesnt help...I'll post pics. Thanks alot guys :)

Why I hate having someone else take panels off. They will probably never tell you they broke a clip. When you pull it off again and replace your bad clip maybe add some Dynamat Extreme to your doors.

yah, as posted above use the 3M mounting tape. works great. when it's cold out i use a heat gun to make it nice and soft while applying.

Are all the clips pretty much universal, or do they have specific clips for specific tasks? I ask this because I broke one putting my passenger side kick panel back on after installing illuminated kick plates. I was kinda wondering if the clips that were on the old kick plate would work on the kick panel as well? They look to be the approximate same size...but wasn't sure.

If they look simiar they should work just fine.
