not sure why it would only rattle when its down but the door panels arent bad to take off.

If I recall you need to pop the cover off the tweeters (small flat blade screw driver works, i believe there may even be an indention or two). One side of the panel has a push pin. Then you need to remove the pocket door insert and unplug the controls. Theres some screws that mount the panel to the door there. Then you remove the little cup around the door handle and theres a screw back there too I think. The panel lifts up and off. Putting it back on is a little trickier lining up all the tabs, getting it over the door lock post etc...
