I had this problem in a '99 Sport with the same doors-I loosened the
nuts that hold them on, lifted a little until the door was level,
tried closing it to make sure, then re-tightened the nuts while
someone held the door up. Fixed the rattle.

Thanks Matt, I'll give that a try too. I did have the doors off last
summer and maybe when I put them back on they didn't line up
correctly. I just prefer to run with the doors on.
