Does anybody doors and bed rattles except mine? If so here is a low cost fix. For the bed look were it latches and then cut a piece of fuel line 5/16 or so and put it around the latch strike and then zip tie it together then put a little grease on it. and for the doors just wrap the strike plate with black tape and grease it too yea this will wear out but what a difference it makes I hate rattles. You can adjust the door stops but that did not help mine.

Just screw the rubber bumper on the door from in or out to adjust, that's what there for. Also the bed latch is adjustable. just loosen the bolts and move the latch closer or farther away.

Keep in mind the door is a dual lock latch. So make sure it is closed all the way and in the second catch point. If not it will give you lots of rattle.
