Default Driver side window rattles

I have tried a couple of things to fix this rattle and it's still rattling. I have noticed that it seems to be at the back of the door, like the part that holds the window is loose from something. Does anyone know what I need to tighten up to get this to stop rattling.

It could be the part of the door hinge that's connected to the body itself. I'm not sure if this could be the same rattle but it was for me. I just tightened the screws up and she was silent once again!

check if it's that plastic plate behind the door handle. (what you pull to open your door) mine have come somewhat loose and they rattle like crazy and it's bery unnerving

I've been fighting the same battle all weekend. I took the door panel off and left it off and drove with it and no noise. I then reinstalled it and drove and noise was back. I then took out the drivers side speaker and put the panel back on and no noise. So I taped down the wires around the speaker and tightend the speakers itself and put the door panel back on however the noise is still there. Too tired to mess with it anymore and it's over 100 degrees today. I may buy some aftermarket front speakers and see if that takes care of the door rattle.

I had the same issue as CKurello.
The small plates behind the door handle just pop out with a screw driver (be careful not to scratch the door panel).
I just put a piece of double sided tape on the plate and poped it back in. Took less than 5 min to do both driver side and
passenger side.

Are your window adjusters tight.
One is behind the red reflector on the door panel
and the other is on the bottom of the door.
