Rattling in Door/Window
The rattling/creaking is on the driver's side. I have decided to try and figure out where the rattling/creaking is coming from. At first I thought that it was somewhere where the window meets the upper window molding in the door. However, now I'm not so sure. It may be in the door moldings and/or door panel, itself. Therefore, I would like to pull the inner door panel and moldings myself and see.
Could someone instruct me how to pull the door panel off? There doesn't seem to be any fasteners in view. Do I literally "pull" the panel off?
Thanks.

profarmen,
My rig makes a rattling noise from that same area as yours. I find if I put pressure on the upper back corner of the door panel the noise stops. Have not had a chance to see what it is yet, but the door panel was off when I put in new speakers -- so there may be an issue with how the panel went back on.
If you have an '03 or newer SuperDuty, if I remember correctly you have to pop off both the lower reflector lense and the sail panel to get to screws. Then unplug the controls for the PW/PDL switches. Then the panel is ready to come off.
This part is important...do not pull the panel away from the door!!! It lifts off by pulling up on it! After a few tugs and realizing it was not budging I figured this out.
Hmmm, I did the driver's door first...this may have something to do with my noise...
