2016 sport access door rattle

[Arizona]

My truck had this rattle on both sides and the dealer could not hear it(bullshit, I know) but I had to document it while under warranty. I have 26 k but had noise since day one. I decided to fix it myself. I looked under the weatherstrip and followed it down along the plastic cover. There were several tabs that were separated from the door. I removed the upper right push pin and pull the plastic cover away enough to see inside. I sprayed the area of the seat belt retractor with rust inhibitors (honey like ) and pushed it all back together. The original pins I saw were still loose. What I did was push pins in to clear weatherstripping, pushed door panel in and used a hook screwdriver to hook behind it and pull it under the weatherstripping. I did both doors. No more noise.
