OK I fixed door rattle from 3 locations:

window switches - disassemble, wrap the box the switches are in with a little black tape, reassemble. It will fit very snugly and the rattle is gone.

door panel behind opening handle: Remove, afix 1/2" foam pad to back, wrap bottom two tabs with black tape. Rattle gone.

door panel behind armrest opening: Remove, afix 1/2" foam pad to back. Rattle gone.


Hope this helps someone. I did it to the pass side as well, just in case.

i did lots of research on this, and theres tons of ways to fix it.
theres special packages you can buy, but personally, im tight on money.
therefore i simply grabbed a flat head, a flashlight, and paper towels.
i ripped up the towels and slipped them in, and theres zero rattle from the window switches.
however, as someone else said, the switches arent the only rattle, so i have to go find the rest.
the rattles were making me sooooooo mad.
