Loud Music and rattle from front passenger door

when i use my MP3 player in my Fit, i like to play my music loud.

when i first purchased my Fit Sport in March 2008, i could play it as loud as i wanted to and there was no rattling noises at all coming from the inside.

a few months later, every time there was a lot of bass, the front passenger door made a rattling sound and it stopped after i reached over and gently pushed in the armrest that is connected to the door and it stopped, only to resume after i let go.
now i know i can't be the only one who has this problem because it happened in my 2003 Honda Civic. it doesn't rattle the driver's door, only the passenger door or the armrest where the window control is.
is there anything the Honda dealer can do to stop this? like taking apart the whole inside of the door and putting it back together again?
or does anyone think that something could be loose?

let me know what you guys think and if you have any solutions i can try..thanks!

Got window tint done recently? did you get speaker upgrades to the car?

Tinters loosen up the door panels to get the tint into the door cavity for a good install. Some people say they only have to remove the lining, but some people don't know about the lining is fused with the door panel.

Just sayin... depends on what you or others have done to your car.

I think the only solution is to buy some new clips for the armrest on the door panel. Should be cheap, I believe you can replace them easily.

i should call my Honda dealer to see if they sell any...my Honda dealer charges $100 to change the air filter and the pollen filter in the glove box...i went to the dealer and bought both for 20 bucks!!

that COULD be possible... vibrations caused by the bad speaker...
