Doors rattling. PLEASE help!

This is driving me crazy! I've been putting up with it for over a year and I just can't take it anymore! lol All four of my doors rattle on a bumpy road. Sounds like the doors are not all the way closed but they are! The rattle is coming from where the latch closes on that "stud" (for lack of a better word). I can wrap electrical tape around the stud and that helps but there's still some rattle.
Any help on what to do here Please!!??

Micheal,

I replaced mine in my 07 fixed the problem. I took the front stoppers and used them for the rear doors and bought 2 new stoppers for the front doors.
The reason I reused the fronts for the rears was that the rears are shorter than the fronts. It works well doing this.

Wow, It worked!!
I bought four new front bumpers (theyre a little bigger) and put them in all four doors and BAM! No more door rattle.
I've spent hours and hours trying to find a solution for this and it was $11.00 worth of rubber stoppers the whole time!
THANKS!!
