Loose nut rolling around inside door?

[Jajanken86]

I still have this issue. Mine is more like a forward and backward rolling sound, mainly low speeds. The sound comes from the passenger side. I've opened the door card and nothing in there seems abnormal. I'm not sure if it's under the seat, but I'm not quite sure where else to check. I've poked around underneath the rear seating area with those antenna-like magnets and didn't catch anything -.-

Holy crap I have had this since day one and thought it was a one-off fluke so I never posted about it.

For me it sounds like there is a small marble inside my driver's door panel. Rolls around and is noticeable when making low-speed maneuvers in parking lots etc. I don't hear it much at speed but perhaps that's because it's drowned out by exhaust/tire noise.

Mine sounds like a marble in the door as well!

Side note: cleaned all this out of the bottom of the fender/fender liner




I'm hoping this was the cause so i don't have to pull the door panel off.

Went on a drive yesterday. Dirt in fender was not cause.


Will rip door panel off and inspect inside door tomorrow.

Ripped off the door panel today. Couldn't find anything in the bottom of the door, even took the speaker out to reach the front.

Only thing I ended up with are cuts scrapes and that nasty black glue that holds the plastic in place. I hate messing with doors.






Took off the bottom panel to see if there was a way to reach the floor board, but the carpet is stapled to the plastic. I'm not about to rip up the entire interior looking for this damn noise so I think I am defeated.

Maybe the noise is something trapped under the black paneling underneath the car? but I really doubt I would be able to hear that driving the car with the windows up as clear as I can hear this noise.

Something must be rolling around in the rocker panel, but how do you even access that?

Small update:

We all might possibly have dirt or works inside our actual frame rails.

looks like some people were missing plugs from the factory..

My car is at the dealer right now for unrelated work but I asked them to inspect the undercarriage and check for debris and missing plugs, updates to follow.

Did you ever drive the car with door taken apart?

Sounds like such a PITA . Hope you get to the bottom of this!

If you remove the seat you can pull up the carpet. I had this exact issue, something from the glove box fell out when I shut it one day and fell under the carpet and was rolling around.
