Loose nut rolling around inside door?

[Jertronic]

It's been a long time with the marble, coin, bb, musket ball or whatever the eff is rolling around in my drivers side door. Is there a DIY on this procedure? It's been 6 months. I've even had the fuel pump replaced during this time and he marble is still rolling around in my door.

I had the "marble in the door" for about two weeks. Finally made me mad enough to take the door panel off, as soon as I pulled the bottom half of the panel about a quarter inch away from the door a nickel fell out. Lol haven't had a noise since.

Same problem! Drivers side door. Car has only 4500 miles and its extremely irregular....I'll try pulling the door panel tomorrow

Update: Nothing that would make noise found inside door panel or door, although I did find a south florida subies card in the door.....

Pulled fender liner and found a small acorn in the body panel. No idea how it could have gotten in there but oh well. Problem solved.

Has anyone found what was rolling in your rear deck or trunk yet? I have the same noise coming from the rear. When I make a hard turn I can hear it moving left and right and when I accelerate or brake I can hear it too.

I started to get this about 2 months back in my driver's wheel well or door. Figured it was as socket I lost a ways back until the sound moved into the door. Gonna have to take the door apart.

I doubt they are all the same. The other was a chestnut for crying out loud.
Pull the panels and look already.

I knew that when I made the post … you would respond Thank you for the very helpful post. What's a thread on this forum without a response from you ?

If multiple people post a similar issue … Then just possibly … there is a common cause … or maybe not (i.e. A chestnut) … Just trying to find out. If multiple other members pulled their door panels and discovered the source was the fender liner then I would start there. Make sense ?

Isn't that what this forum is about ? A place to ask questions ? A place to learn from others ?

And yes … I'm sure I'll get some response to this from you … so I'll thank you in advance.

Glad I could help. Probably a whole lot more than the guy you asked that never updated in the last year and a half. If so aware of my habits you should also know I will help where ever and who ever I can.
The forum most certainly is a place to ask questions but "what is rolling around on my car? Is not one of them. Take the time you will use for another passive aggressive response, get in there and find the problem. If incapable of performing such work take it to somebody that can.
If you find something that could be common to others let us know.

Now just go do it. You're welcome.

Anyone found out whats the noise from?

[JeremyR]

Hate to bump an old thread but I am having the same? similar? sound. Mine happens during hard cornering. Doesn't seem dependent on speed, happens at low or high speed. Low speed happens with quick back/forth (weaving), high speeds during corners or s turns. Sounds like the object is moving left to right, (not front to back) Doesn't seem to happen during accel or decel (unless in a corner)

I will do what was done here before and check my drivers fender liner.

The noise definitely comes from a lower part of the car.

Another option as mentioned is inside the door. I've had the door panel off before, so maybe I dropped something? Will try that if the liner trick does not work.

Will report back afterwards

I had this a while ago when I was working on the spoiler. I had to use a pair of 90 lb magnets (covered in e-tape to prevent scratching, tape had to be reapplied frequently since the magnets tore through it pretty quickly). A bit tricky but you can use the magnets to guide the nut back along the interior of the trunk lid to an opening where you can pull it out. Need 2 magnets to get past some of the contours of the trunk, took me a few tries.


Just realized how old that post was, didn't realize someone had bumped an old thread. Hopefully that nut isn't still rattling around your trunk lid.
