strikers could be bad, also check the weather stripping and the rubber door bumpers if it has them.

Take a peice of water hose cut it about an inch long and cut down the side and slip over the door striker. Should stop the rattles.

my doors rattle and don't close all the way, they latch and won't come open but i can see its still crakced open, i killed the latch with wd40 and nothing changed, is that latch what you guys are calling the striker?

my fords have always had a rattle. My exploder did, my wifes exploder, my ranger and now my wifes 08 focus has a rattle. I just turn up the volume on the music, open a window and no more rattle :)
