If you look very closely, you'll see that the latch on the door has a larger hole than the size of the catch pin on the body. All weather stripping will do is hold the door a little more open and the catch pin has pressure on the inside edge of the latch. I didn't want to put that much weather stripping on the car because of how it looks when you open the door. Another alternative is to get some black cloth tape from the hardware store. (looks like electrical tape, only it's cloth). Wrap about two wraps of tape around the catch pin to increase its diameter. That will remove the play in the latch and the rattle is gone. After all, it's the latch that rattles, not the door.
