I have an annoying rattle in the drivers door area, on my 2014 Ocean.
Before I start taking the door card, etc off, any ideas anyone?.
I thought it may be the window but that is firm and not moving about.
Could it be the awning, do they rattle ?.
 
The awnings do rattle, it needs to be closed tight. I added additional bump stops to mine.

The windscreen blind can rattle sometimes too.
 
Had an annoying rattle that I was convinced was inside the drivers door but surprisingly it was the awning. Confirmed by driving with the window down and holding the awning case. Just had to wind it in a bit to stop the rattle.
 
Awning first thing to check , common ratlle .
Existing threads on this.
Part from that , one person checking things in the rear while you are driving can solve mysteries...
 
Thank you all, I will concentrate on the awning.
Check that the anti rattle foam pads on the awning back plate are in place. Later units have clip in plastic pieces that the Forum shop or Rose Awnings sell.
 
If you drive with the driver’s arm rest by the door in the up position that can rattle too!
 
Mine rattled too. Tracked it down to a loose plastic vent on the bottom right hand side of the inside of the door (only visible / accessible with the door open). Image attached also shows my rudimentary fix!
