I've got it as well. I'd thought I pinpointed it to the triangular shaped trim near the door mirror. That's as far as I've got as neither me nor my mate could find exactly where.

My theory is that when you take this trim out it's really stiff and a piece usually breaks. I wonder whether this piece can fall into the door. You could try taking it out and see if any of the clips are broken. But then again, you might break it by doing this. They're only about ?3 from VW.
Let me me know if you find it.

Thanks

took that piece of trim off. theres not much behind it most of the space is taken up by a foam panel.  doesnt seem like its the culprit.  noise is still there gonna check the fresh air blower on that side.  any luck with yours let us know
