It's kind of hard to tell, but it looks like the wool felt installed at the top of the door (step 9, page 2) might also cure the "tint scratching" problem. Any other thoughts on that?

This sucks. My VIN is after the ones in the TSB. I just took my TSX to the dealer to have the door rattles fixed. They only worked on the drivers door. They put it some foam tape inbetween two overlapping panels on the door panel. Now the rattle is worse! When I read on hear about the new fix I was excited. Can anyone recommend an approach to the dealer on them fixing my car even if the VIN is not within the new TSB?

if your car does not fall in the VIN range listed in the TSB the dealer can make a special consideration for you to the district parts and service manager and if they ok the work then you should be good to go. if you read the tsb above it's in the right-side column under the Warranty Claim Information: "Out-of-Warranty"
also, i agree with jtso and the installation of dynamats where the speakers reside. i guess i will be doing this when it's time to upgrade the speakers in the car.

I just got mine back on Friday and my vin didn't fall in the range, yet Acura fixed my door lock rattle for me free. I must say that I'm pretty impressed with the service I've gotten so far from this dealer.

I had this done yesterday with my 5000 mile service/oil change. It seems to have stopped the buzzing. But the bass also seems quieter than it used to be. Also, the service rep said that they were going to replace the speaker itself, which doesn't seem to be mentioned in this service bulletin.

Maybe they lowered your bass setting? They tried doing that to me once.

I have a 20k service on 9/18 and they are going to take a look at this. They wouldnt order the 'kit' until they looked at the problem, i guess that kinda makes sense, I just dont want to have to go back. This is my first visit to a service center for the car, its kinda sad that someone else will be handling her.

Has anyone taken in their TSX for this TSB (and an after market set of speakers) and asked the service dept "while you have the panels off could you swap the speakers out for me?" Just curious.

I got mine back last week, and although the speakers don't buzz, there's now a rattling around the driver's side door lock. I can ignore it though, because now I can turn my speakers up.

The dealership here in Atlanta (Ed Voyles) are waiting on the parts to perform this work on my TSX. It should be ready by today sometime. I'll let you all know how it sounds when I get it back.

OK, finally got my car back from the dealership. The rattles seem to be gone (at least I haven't been able to reproduce them yet). So far so good with the TSB fix....

Agreed, I just mentioned the TSB number to them, they put it into the computer with my printout and the mechanic has to go and look it all up. They will have to order parts to fix it though, so just be prepared for it to take at least a day. Definitely get a loaner.

I had the TSB done (even though my VIN was out of range) and it really didn't work too well. I would say the rattles are not quite as bad but still there. They also failed to fix my steering column rattle. In fact its about 3x worse than when I brought it in.

I ended up doing it myself because I had the door apart to put felt on the rubber inside the car for tinting. I used some left over dynamat and it seems to have fixed the problem.

Has anyone heard a rattle from a door without the speakers being on? I have a 2005 TSX and when I driving in 1st or 2nd (at low RPMs usually) I can hear a rattling coming from the passenger side door.

SB 04-024 No GO
Just got my TSX (6sp/navi) back from the dealership. The car has been experiencing a buzzing vibration in both front door panels since it was new (15k miles ago). Sometimes also in the driver's side dash speaker.
I've been patently waiting for an "Acura Approved" TSB to fix this problem. The dealership performed SB 04-024 and another one thats supposed to reduce the vibration in the A-pillars. Well now it's worse then it's ever been.
The service managers responce was pretty much to "short neck it", saying they can only do what the TSB says to do. After some long deep discussion regarding the buzzing problem, I find that he has many TSX owners with the same problem.
I asked if we was willing to try an unapproved fix if I could find one through an owner's BBS like this one, and he aggreed.
What has worked for all of you? Have any of you had any success with Dynamat? How is it installed?
I can easily get the stereo to reproduce the problem by playing Peter Gabriel's CD, UP: track #5, I Grieve (the first 30 seconds or so).

i had them do exactly what the bulletin said and they did it for free even though my VIN wasn't listed. It's been about a month now and I haven't had any problems
