I saw this very old post and thought "no way is it that simple to fix that annoying noise that's been plaguing me for months and months" a little bit of test blue tack later and WOW!! Mind absolutely blown, no more rattle, no more stress or annoying noise!! Going to take the door card off and do the permanent fix on Saturday! 
thanks so much for the advice!
thanks so much for the advice!
Apologies for taking so long, completely forgot!
Anyway, got some pics, i did the drivers side as its particularly obvious where the handle rubbed on the surround! So firstly, here is the problem:
The centre of the photo, there is a indented bit of plastic, thats the handle rubbing on the plastic. This is vibrating and causing the rattle. To sort the problem ive tried to get photos as best i can to help you:
The trim needs to come off! I start at the bottom side as i believe its easiest to access. Then just pull it off/shove a screw driver in to prise it away. Shown here:
Then when you get the whole piece off you will see the back side of the handle!
This is the hard bit to explain, iguess the easiest way to see what you need to do is when you have the trim off, (cable still attached) is to pull the handle, the metal part that moves off the buffer is that needs pushing outwards.
I got a clump of electrical tape and put that on to buffer it up a bit, you may wish to use something else, however it must be something that wont deform after some time for obvious reasons!
Buffering it up pushes the handle outwards slightly. It only needs to be pushed to far that the handle doesnt touch the plastic surround that was on the first photo. This will solve your handle rattling problems! My explaination is maybe not that good haha, but once the trim is off its an obvious solution.
Just to prove it is the handle rattling on the plastic trim, stick your stereo on, sit in the back seat and listen to the rattle, then pull the handle slightly and it will be gone
Hope i've managed to help!
Can you these again please
