Check your inner doors, the panel may be seperating
I have been tracking down rattles and I am going to replace all the clips in the door panel. I noticed that the piece of plastic where the red and blue arrow are pointing is very loose. Upon further inspection of the red arrow piece I see that there is a plastic clip connected to a larger white plastic piece. This white plastic piece has become fully unglued from the door panel. This could be the source of a rattle coming from that area. I got some epoxy and will be taking off the panels tomorrow. I will take pics because there are no great pics of the connectors behind the panel.
UPDATE: Here are the pics of the clips and what was broke

I have not removed it yet (i found that pic on ebay ). I will Take pictures of everything that I do because I bet more people would at least like detailed pics of the reverse side panel. I still have not found detailed pictures of the panels or their clips. Yesterday I picked up some epoxy, I hope the white plastic attachments are not nylon or I will need a different glue. I was lucky that a local dealership matched Sewell prices for clips. Dealer wanted 69.90 for all clips but they arrive next day. Sewell wanted only $22 + $10 shipping! I showed the dealer a screenshot and they matched the $22 price. $22 and I get them overnighted to the dealer for free

TIME TO DYNAMAT... I did it, and posted a step by step thread.... Now my doors sound like solid steel when they close, and the only noise I get is from the Mag/Bottle Flap..... For 120 bucks you get 100% sound improvements.

Ok I have taken pictures of the backside. The green clips (circled in green), part number 6777132120, are not reusable and there are 2 per front door. The blue clips are reusable but they may have been destroyed trying to remove them, they are part number 9046709203. Ther are 7 blue clips per front door. You can clearly see the cream plastic piece that was held in with glue, not attached to the door anymore. This piece is ABS so you can use epoxy with no issues. I will post back and report if my door rattle is gone.
