Does anyone else's interior door pannels squeak when rested upon? The rear ones ar horrible when someone rests an arm on it. Is it fixable? Warranty? If its common, guess I will live with it. Radio set to "11"

Mine rattle too! I've taken my truck in twice for warranty work and they say they can't find anything rattling. Now I'm out of warranty and it's getting worse. I may try to take the panels off myself and see if I can tighten the fit.

Friend of mine got an 05 a few months ago and within a week or so I noticed this same problem. Don't know about the back seats but the front passenger sure squeaks. I am hoping they have fixed this issue in the H3.

Mine did the same thing... took it to the local GM dealer who installed new "clips" to keep the panel secured to the door.

Now, if I could just keep my son from SLAMMING the doors! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif

My '05 SUT door panels starting squeaking from day one. It has been driving me crazy for six months now. Thought I was just going to have to live with it, but I'll definitely ask my dealer about the new clips at the next visit. Here's hoping it works!!

New clips sounds like a good ides...will have the dealer do the fix, along with a couple of other nagging items...

BTW, the H3 has no sqeaky door panels. And, the rear seats are much more comfortable.

I saw one back in March at Windrock. I commented then that the interior of the H3 looked nicer than the H2. It's been posted that the H3 just won interior of the year. Way to go!!

Mine did it. My dealer took them off, installed foam in between the door panels and the door. NO MORE RATTLE OR SQUWEEK.
Also, let air down to 30 in front and 27 in back.
