Okay, so my only real beef with my stereo has always been that my door panels rattle like mother!@&^%$s
I've used brownbread on almost every inch of my doors (except for the holes, which I folded the brownbread around,) I've put it on the metal piece that attaches to the door panel handle (not the latch, but the little pocket you pull on to close the door). The mat doesn't stop until the edge of my panels, where I cut it off.
I've put silicone tubing on the door lock and latch bars, except for the parts where it would interfere.
What else should I do? They still rattle like they did before the mat.
what part rattles exactly?
I'm guessing the metal linkages that are on your handles and locks?

door handles wont work when the linkage is encased in a tomb of foam.
foam plus moving parts equals bad news.

Is it the plastic panels that rattle, or does it still rattle with the plastic off?

so narrow minded, there are many ways to fill a door full of foam and not lock the rods in place, and there are many foams that don't become rock hard as well. Like the blow in foam insulation that stays in little chunks. (yes there is foam, not just little peanuts and shreded insulation) or you could section off the rods, not very hard to do... you could even make it so the window could come down... I said it mainly as a joke, but you can do it wihout your robs becoming locked up.

I've put it on the door itself, there is a bit on the door skin, but not much. The rattle is in the plastic, I'm pretty sure. My left skin is pretty roughed up, and there are a few minor cracks which could be the cause, I'm not positive as to the situation with the passenger one.
Do you mean I SHOULD put it on my doorskin, Jason? is there a good way to sound deaden around the speaker "grille" in the door.
Also, would figerglassing my doorpanels help any? I'm planning on doing it this summer anyway.
leave your door panel off, drive around or whatever you do when you hear the rattle, if you still hear it... it is not in the door panel

if its plastic rattling dont wast your money on sound damping, just go get some soft material and place it on the back side of the plastic, i took 90% of the panels in my car and used foamy thin tyep headliner material behind it to get rid of the majority of plastic panel vibration.
i put around 3-4 layers on the outter door skin, then i put two layers on the backside of the inner door skin, then i put two layers on the inside of the inner door skin then i put some soft material on the backside of my door panel.
