RE: Anyone else with this problem?
I popped mine out and put a piece of thinly padded tape on each one. They fit back in more snug now and NO more rattle.
My mistake I fear was that I used two-sided tape which may make it difficult to pop them out in the future should myself or a mechanic need to access the door panel for any reason.... doh! So just use one-sided tape and stick it directly on the little plate itself.
Sorry... but I do not remember well enough to accurately describe just "how" I popped them out. I read about this in another thread within this forum... someone in there described it or perhaps I just went out and slipped in a small screwdriver and pried (risky I know... but I do remember that they popped out pretty easily and I didn't damage anything).

I used sticky foam from the crafts section of super walmart. You need a small screw driver to pop them out. Start at the upper rightcorner I believe and it will come out easily once you get past a certain point. Don't try to pry from the center of the top or bottom, it has to be from the corner.
