Door Panel Vibration/Rattle

I've noticed that when my speakers in the door pump some good mid-bass the door panel tends to reverberate with the bass. I'm wondering what would be a good solution to this problem. I don't think simple sound-deading material in the door would do much since it seems like the actual plastic panel is what is doing the vibrating. It's almost like it needs to be screwed in or something, but anyone who's taken off the panel knows that it is merely 'popped' on. I'm thinking of some sort of padding between the door frame and the panel in order to keep pressure on it to reduce the space it has to vibrate, but has anyone else come up with a solution that is better?

Foam weather stripping.. comes in 20ft rolls. It's adhesive backed. Just tape some on where plastic parts might touch metal..

I put 2 layers of Raammat 60 on my doors, I think i have to redo the top of the door because when I play a lot of bass it still rattles there. Mohawk, any suggestions?
