The plastic door panels in my Honda rattle whenever I turn my music up. I love to blast my tunes while driving, so I’d love to find a solution for this issue. How can you fix a rattle in the car door panel?

I hear you—loud music on a long drive is one of life’s great pleasures. You can fix this by ensuring your panels are properly secured or adding sound-buffering materials.
If the problem lies with a loose panel, all you need to do is tighten it. These plastic panels are usually connected to your car by plastic clips. If one of the clips isn’t secure, this could be the culprit.
Adding sound-deadening material can also fix the issue. You can put a sound deadening mat directly on the panel, or you can surround your car’s speakers with foam rings, which stop vibrations.
