Re: rattles,

Speaking of RATTLES...  as the weather is getting colder, I'm noticing my car
is rattling like crazy!!!  It first started with the driver-side door (even
rattles
when the stereo is on making me think it was the speaker blown) and now
there is an annoying rattle somewhere in the rear (can't tell if it is the
doors).
I guess I could take it to the dealer and have them fix the two rattles, but
what
if other doors start rattling as well?

About the tape - can I only get the stuff at the dealer?  I figure I don't
really
want to mess up the door myself by removing the plastic molding attached to
the door.

Ugh....
