Rattling panels

[Macster]

Any tips and tricks on how to stop rattling door skins on the mondeo. The front two doors have annoying virbations when the stereo is playing.

Cheers

remove the door card and check nothing is loose behind or near the speaker refit them again and test. This requires the door handle trim to be removed to access the two screws in it, as well as the latch till you get access to the controls and tweeter harness. torque screws are a must.

If that's not for you simply tighten them a little more and test, or, loosen the outer door card screws and tighten them up.

So provided nothing is loose, the cheap solution I can think of is sticky back door foam/insulation. My first car I spent my budget on the system then had to cheap out on the rattles so it was door foam sticky backed to the door cards and cheapo under bonnet sticky back foam for the parcel shelf. It worked pretty well for what was an oversight. The door stuff is a bunnings home style thing. The supposed to be bonnet insulation stuff was a jaycar purchase. The car had enough in it to create rattles. 2 amplifiers and maybe a little bit going on in the boot.

there's already a foam mat over the inner metal skin, might pay to lightly push on the speaker grill whilst it's rattling to see if it's the grill area first.
