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 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 :)
