TSB Question

[DaveMo]

In August '02 there was a TSB issued for "Body - Noises From The Door Lock Area" Does anyone have any info on this. I had my '02 Cab in for a jingling sound coming from the door lock area when the top is down. The dealer was able to fix a number of rattles, but couldn't find this one. I'm wondering if this TSB specifically addresses the problem that I described.
