Possible Minor Rattle Fix

In the last few weeks I noticed that while driving over a path of rough road, I would hear a faint rattle which sounded as though it was coming from the roof area. I finally found the culprit. It was the handles mounted above the doors. While these handles are spring loaded, they still made noise, at least in my car. I simply cut small pieces of gummed gasket material and placed it on the inside of each handle. The repair cannot be seen and has fixed the rattle. Just thought I would share in case any of you were having a small rattle issue. You might check out your handles.
