I've got a persistent door rattle on near side passenger.

Door handle seems a little loose. I've tightened what I can but it still rattles.

Any suggestions on how to fix it?

Cheers,
Andy

Pull the bottom of the door card towards you so that it pops out of its fittings. You only need a 1 inch gap. Then stick some foam to the back of the door card at regular intervals near the edge and thick enough so that it compresses when you thump the door card fitting back into place.
I used some sticky double glazing window film from Jewsons.
That should do it.

I'll give it a try. I spoke to the dealer and they want the car in for a whole day to fix the rattles

I fixed my rattle by taking off the door card and putting a blob of silicon sealer where each of the push-in clips is attached to the door card (they are a very loose fit) then I put the door card back on before the sealer set and hey presto, as quiet as a mouse. Done it on both rear doors so far, so if the foam trick doesn't work give it a go.
