Door Panels Rattling

[ShawnS604]

Hey, I got a 2017 Ram 1500 Laramie and I guess from listening to loud music, the front interior door panels are starting to rattle. Is there any way to stop the rattle without removing the entire door panel ? If I do have to remove the door panels, how do I stop the rattling and prevent it from happening again ?

My cheap fix was using closed cell foam sheets (packing materials) behind the door panel to tighten things up.

@SitKneelBend Thanks. Did you place it around the edges of the panels or just a big piece in the middle ?

Big piece in the middle. It was more about placing tension on the door panel than covering area in my case. In the back doors I needed thicker pieces so I folded them over. It works pretty well and doesn't retain moisture.

thats not a bad idea. I have a 2020 with a crew cab. That rear passenger door always sounds like it's open or the window is slightly down. I need to silence it with something.

The rear passenger in my QC is the one that required the most "padding".
