I got my two rattles fixed.
The first was coming from the door handle bezels. I was able to show the service shop foreman, Kenny, where they were. According to the ticket I got when my car was returned to me yesterday, they removed the bezels and put "anti-rattle" pads on the back of them.
I noticed a couple of other people saying that they had the same problem... I'm not sure if "anti-rattle" pads is a technical name for the part they applied or not, but it worked perfectly. They are no longer rattling.
As far as the second rattle... I took my car in Friday morning and took Kenny for a ride so that he could hear the rattle that I was hearing. It was intermittent, so I'm thankful that I was able to get it to do it while we were driving. It happens between about 2k-3k rpms and sounds like it's coming from the transmission.
Anyways, I dropped myself off at work and let Kenny take my car back to the shop with him. By late Friday afternoon they still hadn't found anything, but wanted to keep it over the weekend, which was perfectly fine with me.
I called to check on it on Saturday (they have 7-1 hours on Saturday) and he told me that they had found something and he would test drive it Monday morning and if all is well I can pick it up.
I got the call Monday afternoon saying that it was ready and I picked it up. To my delight, both rattles are gone at this point. The second was apparently a loose exhaust heat shield or something.
Just fyi for anyone else who might run into a similar situation.
I was very pleased with the service at Magic City Ford here in Roanoke, VA. Billy Jo and Kenny were both a pleasure to work with.
