Getting to the Source of the Rattle

[musebandrules]

Hello Versa Owners,

I am getting very frustrated with a rattling chime sound in my versa. It sounds like a ringing piece of metal (like a washer that just needs tightened) that rattles each time I hit a bump...I've pounded around the driver side doors to locate the source of the noise, and it's definitely coming from somewhere inside the thin side panel that is between the driver side door and the rear driver side door. it's driving me nuts (no pun intended).

When I took it to the dealer for an oil change and mentioned the issue, they said they "could not duplicate the problem". I didn't have the time to drive in the car with the mechanic to show him exactly what I meant, but this happens every time I drive the car, and it's VERY audible. I don't want to have to take it back to the dealer because they seem to not really know what they are talking about...they couldn't address the TPMS issue at all (aside from putting air in the tires, which didn't solve the issue), and I feel this is something I could fix if I knew how to get in to that panel without breaking anything...does anyone know how to get the plastic interior located below the driver side seatbelt pully without ruining the interior panels.

i had this problem. my sound was coming from the passenger side dash. it was the airbag screw was loose. i still hear a goofy noise once in awhile but not all the time like before. only on hard bumps
