Both front door panels & rear deck rattle?

2008 Type S
82,000 miles
100,000 mile extended AcuraCare warranty

The rear deck rattles constantly and recently the driver and passenger side front door panels are starting to come apart and pull away from the door in the exact spot on both sides. The dealer tells me none of this is under warranty, while all of it, to me, seems like a defect in construction or parts.

(i've posted about the rear deck rattle previously, and someone linked me to a SB about it in this thread: https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-2004-2008-93/rear-speaker-rattle-would-dealer-fix-849903/)

Basically, it seems like the interior of this car is CRAP, and Acura won't stand behind it. Do I have any routes to go to get this fixed under warranty as it should be, or am I just SOL?

Sure enough, the extended warranty excludes anything interior related pretty much, so I don't know if anything can be done. Any advice? thoughts?

you can easily pinpoint and fix rattles yourself with a litte ingenuity. a piece of foam here and there, a piece of thick cardboard in the right spot...you can do it man.

take apart your rear door panels and make sure they're put on right in the first place. got pics?

It's the front door panels, not rear. I'll take some pics tonight.
