Listening to the rattles coming off from my doors when listening to music are kinda annoying. I remembered that when I took my door panel using lexmex's DIY, our doors have this plastic wrap behind the panels. When I was listening to music with the door panels removed there was no rattle at all. My speakers are not damaged or anything. I don't feel like using Dynomat on the doors yet. So My question is, if I remove the plastic off the doors are there any problems with it after? Theres got to be a reason why they put plastic on the doors, havent figured out why still. I think that this plastic is making my rattles... What do you guys think about the removal of it?

Here is a picture of the drivers side door w/ panel removed.

Plastic provides the seal. The glass in the door has gaps by which air and water can enter the insides of the door. Any cut in the plastic for wires etc should be sealed by tape.


Vibration is very unlikely due to plastic. It is typically due to wires and connectors (which should have foam on it to prevent rattling. The other most probable culprit is the door panel itself (the piece you took off to expose the plastic). This is due to the fact that it is a flat piece and harmonics can set in.
Stiffening this panel is hard so the other solution will be to add damping material such as dynamat. Unfortunately that will add weight.

Since the plastic provides the seal. I decided to leave it alone. Where the wires come out through the plastic, I added tape to where there was no tape. I also added tape all around the edges of the plastic. And also I remembered that some of the rattle was coming from the top area where this Japanese sticker is located and removed it, it does me no good as it was loose. After it all went back together and tested for rattles, nothing was heard. So if anyone is looking to get rid of their sound rattles from the doors due to the music, try this remedy, it worked for me. Now I can enjoy music w/o the annoying rattles. I will update the pictures to show where the tape was added.
