(accord es gt auto est 58 plate)
Andy, Welcome to Type Accord!!
I had a rattle on my passenger door and while it sounds like its coming from a different part of the door card it was actually the blank plastic plate at the top of the handle where they would place the memory seat buttons on a LH drive car.
But to remove the door card do the following:
1. lower the window and pop of the tweeter by the mirror - pull from the side closest to the window.
2. using a small blade screw driver remove the blanking plate behind the door handle - there is 2x phillip head screws in here.
3. pop out the memory seat buttons or the blanking plate with the small screw driver (unplug if buttons) - 1x phillip screw behind here.
4. using the same screw driver pop out the window control switches & unplug - 1x phillip screw under here.
5. sames screw driver lift out the blanking cover next to the window switches in the door handle - 1x phillip screw in here.
6. now starting at the leading plastic edge of the door card by where you removed the tweeter just a good tug and it should pop the first clip. Follow all the way down and round the door card and it will start popping of quite easy. Once all un popped just lift up the door card off the window lip, remember that you will have to disconnect the door lock cable unless you can see the problem.
I know on my drivers door i had a buzzing, it ended up being the plastic screen seal that they place over the inner door to prevent water getting into the door. I found this was slack and vibrating.
I have put some pictures in below showing the screw locations!! Hope these help.....
This is an easy job so dont be worried about giving the door card a good tug to release those clips.
