Hopefully your vibration is GONE, and you can help us eliminate ours as well!

Default The vibration is definitly gone. They said that the plastic covering the doors

is secured by screws under the armrest on each door and if those screws are not tightened properly, each panel are subject to move and "sqeek". Don't kill the messenger if any infos are wrong, I just spoke with the mechanic at that's what he said.

Default Okay, I did see a hole under the armrest

that must be the screw, but I wasn't sure if that is what you were talking about. . I was thinking there would be several exposed screws or something.

It kind of looks like there should be a cover over that hole, but I checked and both of my doors have the same hole. Looks kind of 'unfinished'.

I will see if that screw is tight on all my doors!

Thanks again for following up!

The bizarre thing, I was also expecting several screws to show up :| Smells a bit like dealer BS...

Default dude, under the armrest on the driver side, no screw . .

ther is one at the bottom of the door. It was nice and tight. I couldn't find anymore screws on the driver side and I didn't really want to start trying to pull off door panels to find them.

On the passenger side, there is a screw under the armrest. That was tight as well.

I will look some more this weekend when I detail the car.

CoOlSlY, I know you only got the details from the dealer so we definitely don't blame you for BS info. I am sure anyone with this vibration noise is just interested in the solution without having to go to the dealer!
