Anyone else have the same problem? my handles sit and rattle like no other when the volume is at about half and i dont even wanna hear them when its all the way up...

 

oh my... i could rant all day long about the rattling in our cars and yes i have that as well

 

im mad just thinking about it....

 

yeah.. i didnt think i was the only one... i wish there was something that someone has done that succesfully got rid of it.. i might look more into it in the next few days... its extremely annoying to me..

 

My driver side door handle rattles but not the passenger (go figure)

 

For mine the passenger side door rattles, but not the driver's side. Odd.

 

Passenger side door rattles like crazy we should invent something to get rid of it maybe the fact that the handles are hollow inside. What if we drilled a hole and filled with with a glue or silicone?

 

HAHAHAHA i have the same problem...isn't there a way to tighten them?

 

ya i think the rattles are part of the GM design. im thinking that if you plaster the doors with dynamat or some other type of sound deadner that the rattles will be reduced if not stopped all together

 

i had that problem and took the door panel off and tightend the bolt then theres this plastic piece that was moving so i superglued it and it hasnt rattled since. and yes i can still open and close my door.

 

I've got this ridiculous rattle in my steering column... Christ it drives me crazy just thinking about it.

Moral of the story: Welcome to your new Cobalt!

 

I only got one rattle in the trunk that I can't get at yet. Solution for all others- these little foam squares that are sticky on both sides. Just left the backing on one side and stuck it behind the door handles, no more rattle.

 

There are rubber seals you can get and put on the door were the rod comes through the door
that will stop that or glue some foam around it were it comes back through the frame of the door

they will also rattle if you have broke the door with a slim jim there a anti-theft crap in there that wont let you open the door from the outside after breaking it.

 

well i most deffinently have never slim jimmed my car hahaha...

 

I vote for the foam, I did it but since then it has fallen off...

 

I installed the soft half of 3M adhesive backed velcro on the door under the handle. Worked like a charm, did the same thing to my dome light.

 

^^^^^^THIS^^^^^^ works really well for lots of stuff. I use it all the time at work.
You can also get a proper sized spring and wind it onto the cable between the bracket and the handle, that will take the play out the handle/cable connection.

Cobalts dont use a rod on the interior handle.
