Door latch looseness (rattle) finally fixed
 
Been screwing around with the latch, tape, angle etc.

Finally took the whole inner door panel off to see about maybe changing the door angle slightly, which I did, but also realized that all four hinge bolts are slotted fore and aft. Moved the whole door forward a whisker, and the latch is now tighter than a nun's punnany...

Really pretty easy.

Here is another solution.
On the door striker there should be a stack of washers [usually 4 to 6], this stack of washers can be modified to adjust the striker sway from the door lock or closer to the door lock.
Thought I would pass this info on.

I messed with the latch quite a bit, moving the door itself around was actually easier...
