Vibrating door handle.

Hey everyone, got a question for ya'll.

I've got an 07 Cobalt SS. Stock stereo and everything, but when i turn up my bass and listen to music, my driver side door handle vibrates louder than the music. Yes, I tried the search, but nothing valid came up. Just wondering if anyone knew of a fix for this. It's still under warranty, I just don't want to drive 50 miles to get something fixed if I could do it at home.

Thanks a ton for any and all help.

mine does the same thing bro, if its under warranty bring it to a dealership and have em replace it. that'd def be covered.

I have heard of people tightening them up but I would just go to the dealership and that is probably what they will do.

there is no way of tightening the handles.......i have had it apart and fixed it myself on my car......the door handle on the outside is a weird piece of **** to be honest and there is a plastic piece that mounts inside the actual handle piece that is on the outside of the car......this plastic piece inside the handle is where the rattling is happening so i took some foam tape and put it in there and then put the handle back together.......you have to take the inside door panel off to to the fix but it works like a charm and will never rattle again......Later

i just sound dampened the **** out of the door ans oddly enough it stopped said rattle. Didnt think it would because i didnt touch the handle itself but 16sq ft of coverage on the doors did it
