Thanks guys. I'll try to comment on each of your points. Chris, your foam suggestion reminds me of one of my efforts I forgot to list - I cut a piece of sponge and wedged it in between the afore mentioned lock rod and again, that helped for a while, but not a permanent fix.
Brad, I'll pull the panel and check again, but the last check last fall showed nothing loose with the regulator. I'll make the other checks you suggest during that same inspection. The speakers are tight, but I have developed an occasional buzz from the large speaker in the right door (my '01 is a LS series with the Bose system). Thanks for your suggestions. I'll post an update after I've pulled the panel again. Don't you just love that butyl rubber caulking on the clear seal?!? Larry, you're the man or at least one of them.
