Door rattles

I adjusted my door (to close a little tighter) and it cured a minor rattle. Also the dealer MUST replace ALL the clips when carrying out the repair.
They struggled with my FR after replacing the clips it still rattled and they even blamed the treble levels on the sound system, I stopped caring at that point as I'd traded it in for a Cupra (That doesn't rattle!) 
A shame though the door rattles spoilt what was a cracking car the joys of buying a new model I guess.

I've got the same car, and the same solution to the rattle. The elbow. Might try the Blu tack squeezed inbetween the panel and door with a credit card like someone has sugested on here....
I get a buzzing sound from the passenger door card when I'm accelerating. It sounds like its from the speaker area
Rattling of the doors is a general problem. Solution is not very difficult. Firstly; rip off the door trim. Then make a good isolation to noisy parts. And then change broken clips and lastly install the door trim. Everything is okay then. No rattling, no sound problems. To be calm and patient has the most critical role while doing this. Here are the some example pictures. I found them from a user who did this job before. He did a very good workmanship. Thanks to his labor.
Just got the door rattles on my 2014 Leon ST FR fixed, Perrys of Aylesbury have done a good job.
I have them too
I wonder how the FR compare to other cars. This is only my second car I ever had so I can't speak from experience but the first car, a Corolla, was much better although it didn't have such a firm suspension and 18" wheels.
I also had a vibration on the left hand side of the central console where the two plastic seem to overlap. I got rid of it by inserting ... wait for it ... laminate underlay.

Letchworth Autoway fixed my door rattle/buzz, and also fixed the rattle from the sunroof blind, which only sounded when it was wound fully back.
All gone now - very pleased.
wasn't keen on the Mii courtesy car, but it WAS free....

Car wen't in today for a 'fix', however, just had a call from the service team saying they diagnosed this issue as a packet of mints in the glove box
The mints only went in this morning, so I know it's not them..
How can I get the garage to understand there is a fix and what they need to do, the issues and this service is making me regret going SEAT slightly...

Tell them that above, or take a fitter out in the car. If they fob you off start kicking off politely, it works for me.

I have tried to, sods law that it doesn't do it when the tech is sat in the car though..
Great isn't it…you pay quite a bit for a new car, still in warranty and a dealer network for backup and you end up buying the tools and taking the time to sort out these snags yourself.
I'll never buy another Seat. I'd get rid of mine tomorrow if it could afford to.
