    Remove it and place a small piece of electrical tape on each of the tabs that hold it in place.

    I haven't done it yet but others have popped off the trim piece and then stuff foam/filler stuff in there. I'm going to do it soon... mine rattles if volume is cranked.

    Are you sure it's the switch cover and not that bottle in the cup holder? Ton of vibes in that door pocket. Every time I have something there it rattles.

    You happen to know the best way to remove it without breaking the tabs?

    I figured it was a dumb question to ask but just wanted to make sure. I hate how much vibration gets into that door panel.

    Super annoying sometimes.

    Just slide your finger under the side and lift from the top. The clip is on the top and the bottom has a groove that slides in the bottom.

    I had this very problem on my passenger door, and one day I just closed my door a tad harder than normal and it's gone! :D
