Alan,

       I have the same problem with my 03 SE - took it to the dealer and
although they didn't fix the rattle.   Please let us know how it goes -
I'd like to see the tsb if it's online anywhere.

thanks,
jim

My '02 SE only rattles when really perturbed and I wasn't sure
where it was coming from.  This TSB matches the symptoms to a
tee; the dealer has the parts on order - we'll see if it indeed
fixes it.

Thanks!
Dana

I had the same problem in the driver's door of my 03 - but it only rattled
when I went over a bump. Took it to the dealer Saturday morning, two days
after I bought it, the service guy drove it and said "Nope no rattle". I
drove it a few hours running errands and it was making me crazy so I went
back to the dealer that same day and convinced the service guy to ride with
me while I drove it. Everytime I heard it I went "There! Did you hear it
just then?" and he would say "...no." Finally after about 30 minutes I hit a
big enough bump for him to hear it and then he took the wheel and drove it
and was able to replicate the rattle. He fiddled with the door, pressing it
in different places, and moving it around and decided he knew what was
wrong.

I took it in for service the next Monday and left it - they replaced some
interior molding and clips inside the door and it has been perfect ever
since. They told me it had been incorrectly installed at the factory when
they built the door. If YOUR dealer has a problem get them on the phone with
Darryl in the service department at Jeff Haas Mazda in Houston. He fixed
mine so he knows what it is.
