A few days ago my 1500 developed an annoying rattle in the driver's side door. It sounds like plastic tapping on plastic at the bottom of the window sill. Anyone else experience this or have any speculation to what it may be before I remove the door panel?

This is a video of the noise:

Thanks in advance.

I have no clue what that is but that would drive me insane.

After a day above freezing the noise is gone. Seems all that clatter was from a piece of ice that had either formed or fallen into the door. Crazy [emoji848]

I would pull the outer door panel and look for any of the plastic tags that go on the various parts that make up the door panel. Air moving around between the door panel could be you problem? I would also remove the side dash panel and look there for the same thing. You can remove both and then take it for a drive and see if you can isolate it any better? Just what I'd do. Hope it helps.

Thanks for this post @GzNutz. I had to same noise coming from my door after the first cold night and I was upset. Hopefully, it's just a piece of ice and melts away in the garage this afternoon.
