Rebe-J Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 I've recently noticed what can only be described as a rattle in my driver's side door while at highway speeds. Yesterday, I also noticed a (related?) rattle when I closed the door exiting the car. My guess is they're related. I've looked but haven't found much useful information on the web. Any insights would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you tell if it is coming from the window frame area or somewhere in/on the door panel? From the top, bottom, middle, front or back area of the door? Is your 2017 MKZ still within the 4 year/50,000 mile Bumper to Bumper Warranty? If yes, I would recommend making a service appointment to have the problem properly diagnosed and corrected. Oh...and what may seem like a silly question: Do you have a water bottle or any other items in the drivers door storage pockets? Check closely, and if yes, remove and see if the rattle disappears. Let us know how you make out and good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drolds1 Posted February 23, 2020 Share Posted February 23, 2020 Make sure your sunvisor is clipped into place. The noise this makes when not firmly seated in its bracket has been mistaken for a rattle in the door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebe-J Posted February 24, 2020 Author Share Posted February 24, 2020 I agree it's really hard to pinpoint the cause/area of this rattle. Definitely no water bottle or anything else in the storage pocket. Making an appointment to have the good folks at Lincoln check it out! Thanks.

I haven't investigated it fully but I will do so, sometime when the weather is milder, since I'm also planning to install sound deadener on all doors.

Mitch Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 I have a similar problem and I think I have pinpointed the problem to the low rocker beneath the door. The long plastic body panel that runs from front wheel well to rear wheel well. I am currently trying to devise a way to hold it in place, the plastic pins that are supposed to do so are so cheap and weak they don’t do anything. Let me know if this helps!
