This rattle is driving me nuts..

Got a rattle somewhere around the driver's side door near the handle/latch and it's driving me aboslutely batty. Not to mention I first heard it just 3 days after buying the car new off the lot. Where can I take it to have someone identify the rattle and eliminate it? Should I take it to a subaru dealership or are there specialists? I don't care if it costs $100 to fix, I just don't want to do it myself. I'm too worried about mucking something up. Any suggestions?

i bet it is the vin number plate on the front of the dash.
trying pressing down the dash to test whether or not the noise will go away.

I have a rattle at the top portion of the dor near the pop-lock. It just started on my '03. I have had the car 2 days. It is already sending me over the edge.

I wanted to also comment of door dings...they suck! I just noticed two on the passenger door that had to have occured at dealership. I haven't driven it anywhere. I believe they will take care of it. Will post again to advise on outcome.

Sounds stupid, but it could be your antenna. Heard a couple of these types of posts were antennas. banging the A-pillar.

The antenna is built into the back windshield on the 2004 models. Well, at least the STi it is.
