Door Rattle After Service.

[kosi]

Hi folks!

Just got the 10,000 mile check up done and everything's good. The dealer did a great job with detailing the car afterwards as well. My only complaint is this rattle coming from the driver's door. The cabin is super quiet, so I know it was not there before. Granted we're in the 30's here(temperature), but I don't expect the door to rattle after servicing, especially when it wasn't there before. You hear the rattle when you close the door and when you go over really bad bumps. It might seem trivial, but I find it quite annoying. It sounds like the wood is vibrating or something. I have noticed a milder version of the same door issue in the front passenger's side.

My question is whether there's a quick fix, or if I have to go back to the dealer. It's really quite a drive out there, and I'd prefer not to go there, if I don't have to. It could end up being one of those things that just disappear(or not).

The independent suspension and the gas-filled shocks provide such an unbelievably smooth ride, I don't want rattles to spoil it for me....

I read up on it and it seems to be quite a common problem. The 2 front doors, as well as behind the dashboard are notorious for creaks in cold weather. It happens only in really bad bumps so the ride is still unbelievably smooth. These symptoms are completely absent in warm weather. Mine seems to be going away somewhat. Sometimes it happens, sometimes not. Anyway, instead of wasting time at the dealers', I'll just watch and see what happens.
