Door Panel Woes (rattles like a bastard)

Alright, so the problem is EVERY S5 I've been in has had rattling door panels. This isn't caused by road vibration, but by the speakers themselves.

Has anybody solved this problem???

(Note, it's only my passenger side that does it).

Mine did that for a time, until i tightened down the screws that held the speakers in. Now I'm having a rattle/squeaking coming from the screw that holds on the pull handle in the passenger door panel.

Hrmm, My speakers are all aftermarket with aftermarket mounts (6.5 inchers).

My rattling isn't coming from the door at all, it's only the panel. I've run the speakers without the panel on and it's fine.

PUlled the CD's out of the map pocket but didn't make a difference.

first make sure all the clips and screws are holding it down properly if so narrow down where the noise is coming from and insulate it
