Door Panel Rattle Fix

What's the best way to fix annoying door panel rattling. Should I take the panels off and replace all the plastic push clips? I don't want to put screws in it like most trucks have.

That sucks. That's the reason why I don't want to do that in mine. My interior is a 9.9/10 and I don't want sheet metal screws everywhere. I'm thinking about the clips. When I replaced window motor a year ago they were fine and I reinstalled it but after a year of 4 wheeling and off roading I guess it just loosened them up.

I think if you just welded the holes shut, ground them smooth, and redrilled, you'd be fine with the existing door.

I have to have somebody do that for me. I haven't welded since my metal shop days in high school, and usually only on thick stuff though, never on thin metal like that.
