Annoying rattle when on dirt roads. I think its the door lock on the RR door. It seems to be loose and rattle against the escutcheon. I need to confirm thats it. My fix would be to put some 'noise tape" on the button. This is the stuff that is like tape with a light fuzz on one side. Its used between plastic parts to reduce interior noise. I'm up north so not near my supply (used to work for OEM interior supplier).

Anyone else have this issue?

I did on my 2011. I bought a pack of velcro ovals from walmart (in the craft section) and took the fuzzy sides and cut them in half. Removed the lock knob pulls and stuck the fuzzy velcro to the door panel behind where the pulls go then reinstalled the pulls.

I think that light fuzz rattle tape is called Flocking tape?

That’s a funny word!! Sorry that’s how my 12 year old brain works haha. I need to get me some of that. My door panels on my 2006 rattle a tiny bit and it drives me bonkers!

The rattle is only bad on dirt/washboard roads and then it rattles like crazy. Stereo will not drown it out except at nosebleed levels.

Our 08 Denali XL just started doing this in the exact same place lol. Going to buy some of the self adhesive velcro tape and use the fuzzy side.

Z55 option is Auto Ride. Computer controled Magnetic Ride Control / MRC / MagneRide struts on all four corners with rear having a pair of integrated air shocks to level the suspension.
