My 07 rattles all up in the dash, and those little plastic pieces inside the door handle that cover a screw I assume, have rattled since day one. I keep forgetting to get some double-sided sticky tape to put in behind it...

how easy is it to take off a door panel and put it back on? (the latter being the part I'm worried about.. I'm just afraid it wont fit..lol)

I was considering poppin the door panel of and slapping some Dynamat on it but I dont know if its a quick thing or its a bit complicated.

Thanks.

Same - dash rattle, from the guage area / bezels. Happens when the interior temperature is changing, ie: when it's cold and I turn on the heat (which makes some sense - some parts expand / contract at different rates). Rattles pretty much all the time when the interior is warm. Does not rattle much, if at all, when cold. When I push on both chrome bezel surrounds, it goes away, so it's definitely those, or something behind them. Does bother me on occasion - from what I've read in the past it's a common issue. May have the dealer take a look at my next servicing...

Never heard this rattle, actually more like an erratic ticking sound, until it got cold outside. All thru summer, never heard it, but as soon as it got low 20's outside i heard it, and continue to hear it. The only time it goes away is when I drive the car for an hour or so and it is nice and toasty warm, then it stops rattling.
