    My son glued masonite to his panels with liquid nails - held it in place till it set.

    You need to find a screwdriver, pliers work too, sometimes it can also be done by hand... Find the Fused Audio Resistor Volume Dial, turn anticlockwise. Problem solved.

    As Philthy says, you need to find out where the rattle is coming from. Take off the door cards and the plastic protector and see if any of the screws holding things are loose. If you have power windows I'd be checking the rivets that hold in the windows actuators. They break over time and you end up with the window falling into the door. Easy fix if they haven't all broken yet. Also put some sound deadener under the rear number plate.

    Take the door trims off and listen, it can be the window regulator scissor bit, dont know how you would replace it other than with a new reg. Power window conversion?
