Manage to trace a rattle (heard on chip roads) coming from passenger door area.

Seems it is coming from the window regulator (specifically the pre-tensioner)

You can see the part im referring to in this picture (https://i.ytimg.com/vi/LtTnmiNqkTE/maxresdefault.jpg), rectangular block coming off the bottom of the main winder unit.

Any ideas on how to eliminate ? rather than pull and replace (which would be a pita) i'm thinking of wrapping dynamat over it and also libing the door and door car in attempt to block the rattle, perhaps change the resonate frequency that causes it.

Sounds like loose bit of plastic or a single ball bearing rattling inside.

Priced up a regulator repair kit for $60NZ, but decided this weekend Ill try hide the rattle with Jaycar Sound proofing foam along with Dynamating both side of the inner door panel....should get some more midrange from the factory speakers as well.
