right door panel rattle/vibrate with VIBE

orion_squall · 06-03-2003

hi,

I don't know if I am too picky or not.

Does 2002 civic's passenger door panel suppose to rattle/vibrate when you play huge vibe/base songs? (rap, R&B etc)

I tried at my garage with loud,big base, big vibe song and the passenger side door start to rattle. Is this a problem? or am I asking too much for a civic?

because I know a BMW, Volve won't rattle.

some suggestions?

thanks!!

use fat mat in the door. Also I have noticed if you lock the door it reduces the amount of rattle

fat mat in door panel...

I am not dare to open door panals yet...not many people have done that 100% perfect.

ive had my panels off before...no problems here (if you know what your doing)

i had the same problem but on the drivers side. took it to the dealer n they fixed it. they said they replaced the speaker, so if u want u can either buy aftermarket speakers n get those on or go stock with the dealer.

ok, at what volume level you guys start to have this problem?

for me volume at 5 (5 scales,5 little dot-line)

base at full. then I cah hear rattle...but 5 is very loud scale, I don't want to go Honda and make them laugh because in normao use you don't put so loud.

radio component is guaranteed 60000Km/3 years right?

and I can go to any honda dealership to fix the problem right?

I know I might be to picky but I think we should squeeze honda out within the guarantee period.

the speaker vibrated at even 2 dots of volume. it was really annoying. the only way i would ignore it was to bump the music really loud till i cant hear it. hahaha. just get it fixed by the dealer for free. unless u want better sound, though, from aftermarket speakers. its bumper-to-bumper warranty for 36000miles/3years. get everything fixed b4 ur warranty runs out. i wont have to worry bout mine cuz i got an extended warranty, 75,000miles/7years. it was only an additional $100 i think. not bad.

if anything like that happened, can one go to any Honda dealer to fix it or we have to go the the dealer where we bought the car?

any honda dealer should do it.

I also had the same problem but on my drivers side. Only way I could make it stop was to put my hand or arm on the spot that was doing it (between the lock and mirror, I think). I have taken it to Honda several times to get it taken care of, and it is better for awhile, but it goes back to rattleing real quick.
I think they only warrenty it if you have 100% stock stero.

actaully, I went to Honda, they put on new speakers but nothing really changed.

later on, I took off the door panel, painted and did leather insert.

this will probably void the door rattle warrantee right?
