I took my door panel off hoping that this would solve my problem.
Unfortunately I found that the little piece of metal is still totally affixed as new to the door panel.
I did find that the bottom of the window track has been scraping ever so slightly whenever the door is closed hard (which is pretty much always since the damn car seals so well). So I tried taping up the end of the window track to see what that would do. Still no luck, I get a metal ping sound when the door closes.
It makes the noise whether the window is up or down, and I just can't see what the hell is causing it.
Are there any other parts inside the door that might be responsible for it?
The passenger door closes with a mercedes style thud.

another good solution, which can be used instead of dynamat for audio installations as well, is to use urethane based adhesive tape which is available from some building material suppliers. it usually comes in 4" wide and 10" wide rolls and is 90% cheaper than Dynamat and it is exactly the same stuff. It is used to patch holes in roofs and exterior walls before laying down siding and shingles. don't mistake it for the asphault based stuff which smells horrible when hot.
