Rattle In Front Driver Door I Think?

[jackster06Z71]

Back in Jan this year i installed a Kenwood component system in my front and rear doors , and a while back i started to hear a rattle, but i checked all the components and there all tight. It sounds like its coming from the driver front door and its pretty noisey, but it only makes this noise if im driving and hitting some bumps, if i just open the door and shake real hard it dosent make a peep. I took it to the dealer and they said it was the plastic covers on my crossovers but i took them off and its still their. it sounds like plastic on plastic , and the other day i noticed that when i apply pressure to the driver window it will go away so idk really where it is but im starting to think its in side the door, not just behind the door cover. Btw this is a 2007 silverado gmt 900 just fyi. so if anyone can help me please do im lost and frusterated!!

I have a 07 1500 XC NBS with the exact complaint. I have been to the dealer twice with no luck. I plan to continue to seek a fix. I will post an update when it happens.

Just checking in here. I have an 08 Crew Cab NBS, and I have the same problem with my factory setup. It's hard to diagnose when you're driving down the road and trying not to crash. I wonder if this is more commonplace then we think?

I have a 2007 GMT900 that has the same problem in the driver side doors. My doors were removed and skined/repainted after a minor collision. I had found that the latches that hold the door closed to the pin had not been reinstalled with locktite and had worked loose. I fixed this problem, but continue to have the plastic on plastic rattle over bumps. It is very anoying. I suspect that there are plastic clips that retain the door panels, these probably were not replaced with new units when the repairs were made...Hopefully I can look into this durring the holidays.
