Possible solution to door rattle (Shaker 500)

I have the Shaker 500 system with Pioneer TSD6802R 6 X 8 2-Way 260 Watt Speakers. My passenger door rattles like crazy when I play music. I've had Ford look at it 3-4 times and they say everything is nice and tight. I've even made sure things are fine myself when I replaced the speakers. I've noticed that if I pull or push on the map pocket, the vibrations/rattles go away almost completely.

My question is, does anyone know of a small reverse clamp that I could put in there to test this? I've even thought of shoving a small block of wood in there. I'm not buying dynamat since it's so expensive.

Had the same issue with my car.
Solved it by simply gluing a small diameter but thick piece of pipe at each end of the pocket to keep it rigid.

No effect on use of pocket and no more rattle.

I wrote a thread somewhere will find link.

yeah I found that that map pocket or anything in it will vibrate. I was thinking of doing something similar to what Mykap suggested.
