It just took 2 trips to dealer to fix a rattle (buzz noise) from the front
passenger door of my 04 Civic Hybrid. First time they put foam padding
behind the panel which did nothing. 2nd time they actually drove and
listened to noise and then adjusted the latch/striker to remove play. I
thought the noise was inside the door since it would stop if I pressed the
top panel or if a passenger leaned on the arm rest. There is still a slight
noise but infrequent compared to previous constant buzz which was very
aggravating. Good luck.

It just took 2 trips to dealer to fix a rattle (buzz noise) from the front
passenger door of my 04 Civic Hybrid. First time they put foam padding
behind the panel which did nothing. 2nd time they actually drove and
listened to noise and then adjusted the latch/striker to remove play. I
thought the noise was inside the door since it would stop if I pressed the
top panel or if a passenger leaned on the arm rest. There is still a slight
noise but infrequent compared to previous constant buzz which was very
