:facepalm: I started to notice this a few months back and it seems to be getting worse...I haven't paid attention to it with window up/down but I'll have to see. I've tried to hold every piece of my door while driving to see if it'll stop but haven't had any luck.

but this happens on my passenger door not mine hmm, and its only on the highway at higher speeds.

^^ from last reported time, noise no longer there, even on highways, magically disappeared. :driving:

I wonder if this has to do with the warmer weather and stuff expanding then it goes away when the weather gets cool? Seemed to have started with the warmer weather for me.

this could be it, although I think the window on my car just doesnt go up all the way, and there is air rushing in the small crack so thats where the noise is from, its actually the shop where I had minor damages fixed fault, they re assembled the window and didn't put it back together right so it looks like ill have to make another trip down there. :rolleyes:

Any updates on this? Starting to feel like smashing my face into the glass to make it stop...makes no sense to me. Window down, no noise, window up rattles like hell but there's absolutely nothing up there to make it rattle?! It's all just rubber! This is going to drive me to sell my Z.

Im at work today and its slow so I may dive in and see what I could find.

6spd 10-18-2012 03:15 PM

Found it.

At least in my car I did. If you take the door panel off and look at the bottom left, there is a white plastic box plastic riveted onto the panel. Problem is it isnt riveted tight. I shoved a piece of rubber in the gap so the box sat tight against the panel and voila, rattle is gone.

nice!...did your rattle stop when you lowered your window before the fix?...if so, it's the same thing.

The only time I could here my rattle was windows up, no radio.

Its easy, 1 10mm screw behind the door handle piece, 2 behind a cover above the storage slot on the bottom. It pops off and the door linkages pop right out.

slow day for me too, I'm gonna go and try this. Thanks 6spd.

no prob, i hope it works for you too

How'd this turn out for you, KingZee? Any luck? Same problem as 6spd and same fix? If it works for you too, then I know what will solve my rattle. It's the exact same issue.

I had no luck what so ever with any amount of shimming etc. it got to the point I couldnt listen to the radio even at a mild volume and every bump it made that dang rattle. After taking it to the dealer several times and complaining about it someone in the office yelled "it's the regulator" We had replaced every piece in the door including the door panel even the switches. The second the regulator was replaced it was perfect. No more rattle over bumps and the bass from the speaker sounded pristine. It's covered under warranty and most likely u will have to tell them what it is. My Nissan dealer was slow figuring it out. GL and hope this helps :tiphat:
