    anyone has any idea how to remove the front door panel? Is there any hidden screws/nuts somewhere that need to be removed?
    I need to open it up as something inside is rattling and is driving me nuts.
    Thanks

    It should be posted here somewhere. Two screws, one in the handle and one in the armrest tray need to be removed. Door then can be pried off from the bottom putting your fingers in the space provided. Pry upwards. Then you will see the connectors you need to disconnect. Its pretty easy. Hopefully this helps. Someone here has posted pics of doing this.

    Randomwalk101 - please let us know if you find the source and how you fixed it. My door panel is buzzing too. It sounds like it's coming from the window.

    Actually I haven't started. I just banged on the door panel a few times and so far no more noise. Urghh I'm sure it's temporary but if it comes back I'll open it ip

    As every engineer knows, when any item sounds unusual, kick it and see if it stops!
