what would cause the door handle inside the car to rattle? and how to remedy it?

[afrasay]

ah loose screw? or the foam that separates the linkage.

Could also be that the steel rods (linkages) have gotten free from their plastic clips. Some foam (or a new clip) will remedy this.

maybe because of wear n' tear, how old is ur car?,,looks for the screws and tight it, sometimes there is a little plastic cover u need to remove to see the screws.

After I had my lock repaired at the driver's door, nagkaroon na ng rattle. I have it checked up when I have time. Normally, rattles are caused by loose screws.

[wildthing]

yeah baka pagkakasauli ng handles or some parts inside (if not the handle) was not fastened properly.

[nicolodeon]

Yep, most probably some loose screws. Baka kasi hindi yung talagang screws ang ibinalik nung pinagawa. To check, use your screwdriver and try to remove the screws. If there is no resitance, mali yung screws na binalik. Kung mayron namang resitance pero nag-rattle pa rin then yung ginamit nilang screws eh iba ang sukat nug thread. Ang masama dito, baka yung thread dun sa pnagkakabitan eh naiba na yung mga "ngipin" since baka na-pwersea na nung screws na kinabit.

thanks for the prompt response.
consensus seems to be loose screw.
if i am unable to fix this, where would you recommend na paayos ito?

Kaya mo yan. Kung dehins, any good enough mechanic would do.

Anyways, you can do this test: remove the handles then drive around your village or street. Kung may nagra-rattle pa, dehins screws yan: malamang ang problem nyan eh yung sinabi ni Boss Otep.

Good luck.

btw, cars are 2 and 5 yrs old (patrol and cefiro). both have rattles at rear passenger side.

ganyan din problema ng kotse ko dati (civic). nung may pinaayos ako, tinanggal ng lokong mekaniko ang foam na humahawak sa mga metal connectors ng door lock (para siguro mas madali ilagay ang door panel) kaya nag-ra-rattle. nung nilagyan ng foam, tahimik na uli.

[dx8976]

this is a picture of it...
wala akong screw makita dito.
kelangan ba buong panel tangalin?

[OTEP]

Um, you usually have to take the door panel off prior to fixing it.

Have someone drive vehicle while you are locating for noise source.

For convenience, better have some foam handy.

hehe, kala ko baka pwede un handle lang.

what kind of foam are we talking about here, and where can i find it?

[pitbullz]

clips? :-)

[OTEP]

I used to have an extra matress dito sa bahay. I just cut little foam blocks and sinisingit ko between the control rods (what actually moves behind the door panels) and the inner door itself.

[dx8976]

i notice that it may be the handle itself that may be rattling.
kapag hinawakan ko kasi, wala ng ingay.
sa loob pa rin ba ang source nito?

[OTEP]

Try mo adjust yung control rod na naka-connect sa kanya. Baka too much slack.
