So I have noticed my rear driver door on my 2013 1500 quad has developed a rattle. I have pulled the door panel and put it back on with no change. Yesterday while I noticed the rattle I pressed against the speaker grill cover on the door skin and it went away. Today I pulled the panel and drove to work and no rattle so clearly its something with the panel. Ideas on fixing? I'm not inclined to dynamat the door! I have the 8.4N system but not the alpine upgrade.

Maybe a couple small pieces of 3M double sided tape in the right spots would resolve it?

^^^That could work...
a couple of strategically placed pieces of butyl or dynamat or other would fit the bill.
Something to add just a bit of weight to the panel and everything should be ok
rattles, buzzes drive me bonkers

3M tape fixes a lot of things but autoK has it right it doesn't take much and little rattles go away.

Thanks I'm going to work on it today and see if i can find where it's coming from. I press on the grill it stops so I'm guessing somewhere speaker is rubbing.

I got mine fixed. I used weather stripping and tried putting it just on speaker but it was still present. Starting putting pressure on the panel in various spots and the edge of the panel is not held on tightly by the plastic screws/pop pins. From there I used weather stripping and put small pieces around perimeter the panel and re-secured panel. So far all is well.
