I spent a lot of time this weekend killing the rattles that my stereo creates. The rear deck panel and 3rd brake light will give anyone with a subwoofer a lot of grief.
I took the rear deck panel out and insulated with 1/2" High Density Foam cut to the size of the panel and then forced everything back together. Nice and tight now, no more rattle from there.
The 3rd brake light is a bit of another issue. Lots of pieces and parts that are not fit together very well from the factory. The clear lens rattles against the housing and the led strip rattles against the clear lens. I ended up plastic epoxying all the pieces together in crucial spots to fix this.
The passenger door rattle we are all experiencing is mostly from the switch. I disassembled it and placed Bat Tape around the contact points of the pieces and shoved some 1" High Density foam between the back panel and circuit board. There was a little white pop out cover that needed to be silenced in both doors as well as the yellow plug right next to it. Bat Tape and foam solved this too.
Overall the rattles are mostly gone. Need to go through the dash and sort that out as well as the C Pillar. When removing the rear deck the C Pillar seemed like a spot that may rattle and now that the rear deck is quiet I think I am getting something from the C Pillars, but not very bad.

Maybe a How-To is in order?
I for one do not want any rattle from a car I spent $40k on.
