Wind Noise - Whistle and Rattle

And did your rattle sound like it was coming from the front of the door or B pillar? Mine sounds like it’s coming from between the window and b pillar

Thanks. Will try today. I assume the holes in the piece you removed are the little push pins where you push in the middle and the pin pulls straight out?

Yeah, they’re a little tricky to get to. You’ll need a trim removal tool.

Yes. Mine sounded like a little plastic piece was rattling against the area circled.

That’s wild! How a rattle created in front of the door can sound like it’s next to the driver. I’ll check it out and report back. Appreciate your help!!

Tap on the splash guards with your finger, if they’ve loose that will make a rattling sound.

Thanks. Yes, I tapped and driver side was loose. I secured it with some Velcro (drilled a hole in the middle of each piece) and reinstalled. It’s secure now, and rattle still exists. I can stop the rattle by applying slight pressure on the driver door panel right below left side under window. I applied Velcro padding yesterday but not sure if it was enough. I’m going to take piece off around door and add padding as well as more to door panel and see if that helps.

Thanks for the link. I looked today, and have no idea how you would remove the piece in front of the door. Is it a 5 minute job? What else do you have to remove to get to the front of the tabs to remove them?

Or am I looking at it wrong?

I didn’t remove anything else. Just popped out the 4 plastic rivets (or whatever they’re called) and worked the piece down towards the ground.

 

[tacomasport1121]

Sweet, thanks. Did the rivets stay in place? I thought of doing that but didn’t want to rivets to fall back in the front part of the truck so I could no longer reach them.

From my perspective, I will just have to pull the piece out toward the driver seat and the rivets stay in place, just break loose from the black piece we are trying to remove?

The dealership thinks they have solved the riddle. Here it is .....
It was none of my guesses and nothing I had seen before on Tacoma4G or Tacomaworld
Makes sense with speed activation.

Where on truck is that please?

Well since the second video is the drivers side front door I’d say that it’s the drivers side front door.

The rivets go through the piece into the front door.

Thanks, I will try today. Added extra padding to both door panel and metal on door but did not help. I’m thinking this is my next move to remove the piece in front of the door. Do you know of any videos showing the piece being removed? Was yours rattling when pushed with the door closed like the video posted above does?

I never tried what they did in the video. I only heard it while driving.
