After doing my soundeadening I've got a good rattle on large bumps too, drivers rear Scab door. I THINK its the inner door skip flexing where the window motor is attatched and actually hitting against the plastic door panel. Maybe the weight of the deadener is causing it to more more than before. I was SHOCKED at how flimsy the innder door panels were. Not sure of a fix yet, passenger side is fine.

Huck, does the panel just pop off

The two plastic upper panels just pull off, you first must remove your upper seat belt mounting point. Then there are two plasitc circles that get pulled off on the leading edge (facing the front door when shut). Behind them are two screws, 7mm i think, maybe 6mm. There is another one on the bottom of the panel and two more on the top that you'll see when you remove the first two upper panels.

It pulls right up and off after that. I chose to pop the window switch off before the panel, but you don't need to, it can be unplugged with the panel half off.

Oddly enough I think I fixed my issue today. It turned out to be (from what I can tell so far) the lower rear portion of the plastic door panel contacting the door's inner skin. I cut a small lenght of soft rubber tune to make a "U" channel and put that between. Haven't heard the noise all day. We'll see how it does this weekend.

Its not strange that its only one side, mines just on the driver's side.

Is this a flaw in fords manufacturing of the scab?
