I noticed last night that on songs with stronger bass, there is something that rattles inside the driver's door. If I press my leg firmly against the door, the vibration will stop. Has anyone had any experience with this? I thought I'd ask before I go trying to take the door panel off and figure out what the cause of the vibration might be.

Happened to me last night listening to Elvis Radio..I am thinking it was something I put in the compartment in the bottom of the door causing it..Will check that later.

I thought that too, but there is nothing in the compartment, bottom or top.

how easy is it to pull and get into door panel? I hate removing panels knowing that it may never be the same when re installing. Our window switch panel creeks and seems loose and drives me nuts.

I have the same issue on my 2015 Yukon SLT. Music seems to make it vibrate, and pressure near the door handle makes it stop, for the most part. I am considering taking it to the dealership to have them look into it, but would be good to know if it is an easy fix on my own instead....

it's a plastic rattle sound it seems like to me. like a wire against the door but I'm not really sure. I haven't been able to pinpoint it yet but I'm going to take a closer look this evening to see if I can narrow it down. I doubt I'd be able to replicate it if I remove the door panel so I'm just going to check to see if everything is tight.

Is there a guide on removing the door panels? Where the screws are, and clip points, etc...?

I ended up taking mine to the dealer. They told me that my entire door panel was loose. It didn't have all of the clips attached from the factory.
