I have aftermarket sub and when it hits certain bass frequencies I have a rattle on front passenger door. I did the window adjustment. I pulled the panel and added some dynamat and taped up everything I think could be causing the rattle. Even the plastic clips. But the rattle is still there. If I put a bit of pressure on the door panel the rattle goes away.

any ideas

Remove the panel and play the same frequencies until you find the culprit. Then add more dynamat or anything that will make the part denser. If it is a panel, I will double the dynamat. I had the same issue with the tailgate and double it as much as I could, it reduced it but still there. Good luck!

Check the passenger seatbelt. I've chased down multiple rattles that both times were the seatbelt rattling against the plastic.

this is great guidance. I am 75% sure I have ruled out the seatbelt but is always a suspect. Thank you

Did you get this rattle squashed? I ruled out the seatbelt, and pressing on the door panel also stops mine. Doesn't sound like metal on metal.
