Default How difficult to fix wood trim rattle

I'm loving my SC. I have had a noticable rattle coming from the wood trim on the driver's side door behind the door latch. Do you have to pull the whole door panel off to fix this? Any suggestions on a easy fix?

This car sure does get a lot of looks for being a nearly 10 year old ride with 16" rims!

Are you sure its from the wood trim? I also noticed a very slight rattle noise coming from the drivers side door and thinking it was either the tweeter area or the wood trim but I later found out it was actually the speaker near where the knee would be. If you wanna make sure drive around until you hear the rattle and press the speaker cover with your hand and see if it stops. I tried that and sure enough thats what it was. I opened the window and lock/unlock console and I found that the clip for where the console would click into was crack.

The SC door panel comes off really easy. I would pull it off and check it out. Maybe sound insulate the door while you are at it.

I have million rattles coming from inside of both door panels.
There is absolutely no way to locate the exact source. Any advice on how to get rid of them?

Also, the slot where the windows roll down into collects water. For instance, after rain the water in this slot stays for the next 3 days, and it leaves this nasty mud mark after I roll down and roll up my window. The black rubber blade that wipes the window seems to be not doing its job. Anyway to replace them?

The wood trim is really metal printed for a wood look. Get a needle type glue gun and inject some glue under the seam next to the door handle.

I thought the 400s had real wood, and maybe the 300s
