Rear passenger door rattle - my fix

[Simple Man]

For the past 2 weeks I have had a annoying rattle ........... like the door wasn't closed good.

Replaced the inserts at at the door hinges and it did nothing. Yesterday I had time to look at this deeper and found that the vertical insert that separates the main window from the smaller window had worked itself down on the bolt at the bottom.

1- Basically all you need to do is take the interior door panel off (no need to remove door handle) just let the panel hang.

2- Locate the vertical divider that separates the two pieces of glass

3- At the bottom of the vertical divider locate the single bolt and loosen it

4- Slide the vertical as far up as you can (I used a little upward force)

5- Tighten bolt and you are done


Hope this helps someone

Update:

The rattle came back (slightly) ..... so I added a thin piece of black poly at the top of the vertical glass separator. You will need to peel back the rubber weather striping to reveal the area. Kind of straight forward once you peel the weather striping back.

Note:
If you slightly push/pull the top of the vertical separator you will notice it moves maybe a 1/16th of an inch at the top ..... this is where I added the thin poly or you could use other materials.

hope this helps someone....
