So i brought in my 06 gs430 because the passenger door rattles like crazy when playing bassy music but they said its not covered because i have 75k miles and the extended warranty doesnt cover it. is this true? what can i do to get rid of it?

not sure about extended warranty, hopefully someone here can answer that question for you.

to prevent rattles, your best bet would be to use damping material like dynamat.

here's the faq on dynamat: http://www.dynamat.com/faqs_faqs.html##Action%203080

since you are having door rattles, here's the link to the dynamat door kit: http://www.dynamat.com/products_car_audio_door_kit.html

there are other brands that does the same thing, but dynamat is probably the most well known brand. hope this helps.

screw dynamat.

doors are easy to fix. the whole inside door panel comes off with a few screws and clips.

certainly less scary than disassembling the dashboard.

try to find out where the rattle is located after removing the door panel. then apply a few felt strips or tape down any loose parts.

here are the instructions you can study. you don't have to remove everything. but it shows you where the screws and clips are.

under normal circumstances, i would agree with your approach. but i'm assuming from OP that he has aftermarket subs. if that is the case, dynamat would be best way to dampen.

Rattles, leather and lights are not cover under extended warranty.

well, my headlights were covered under the extended warranty so im assuming you mean interior lights?

dunnojack

just curious. what happened to your headlamps?

my driver side headlamp started to not work randomly, it turns back on if i manually turn my lights on and off. very random and sucks cuz i constantly have to check for my reflection to see if its off or on. they couldnt find the problem. sucks.. but i will come back when its more persistant.

I am personally an pro dynamat member. I used it to line the entire trunk, under the back seats, and in the wheel wells to make the car a little more comfy and quiet. The car had a full intake, plenum, headers, high flow cats, and a borla cat back. It was LOUD as hell. The interior panels would rattle under very hard acceleration. That car was bad ***

I mean light bulbs.
