Hi folks, the large speaker in the passenger side front door (just above the small red courtesy/warning lamp) is rattling when I play music.   Could anyone give me some guidance on how to fix it, its driving me nuts.  

 

For a start, how does the panel the speaker is embedded in come away from the door?  Do I just carefully pry it off?  And once I've done that, will the speaker just be lose or have a stray wire touching the cone or something, whats likely to be causing the rattle?

 

Or alternatively, since I have a few months left on the Lex Auto warranty that came with it, would it be better to contact them and ask them to have a look?

 

Thanks in advance!

Warranty!!

Why meddle when they can do it and are responsible if they break something?

Agreed. Get it sorted under warranty.

But if you have to DIY I believe you have to remove the whole door panel in order to get to the speaker.

Are you sure it's not rattling detritus in the door pocket? Or indeed something that has slipped behind the crevice in the door pocket (like a 20p coin or similar)?

I get rattling fairly frequently - always solved by removing the offending item from the pocket.

Thanks guys, I dont have a manufacturer warranty, but Lex Autolease did say they provided 1 year of their own warranty.  I'll give them a call.  Its definitely the speaker, although not the one I thought it was, its the smaller one closer to the door hinges.   If I gently press the panel it completely cures the rattle.

Is your car more than 3 years old?

If it less then you do have a Skoda warranty in the UK.
