The vent door to the right of the radio was rattling very loud when I had the A/C on high. Also the vent door would slowly close until it was about half open. This always bugged me, the rattle more then anything. I found a TSB about this, 04-7-6 APR 04, which says to install a repair kit, 4W1Z-19E996-AA. I finally broke down and bought the kit and did the repair. I figured I'd share it here since it affects 03-04's only, though the TSB doesn't specifically say Marauder included. I took a few photos of the progress, enjoy!
Here is the kit, its four small foam pieces, you use one per door (if you are having issues with more then one door):

Here is the back of the door prior to the kit being installed:

And here it is after the kit is installed, the foam rubs agains the top of the housing creating friction and eliminating the rattle and the loose door:

I tried it out and the rattle is gone and the door stays open. It was around $11 for this kit and I'm sure I could have used some other foam with adhesive on the back for the fix but I didn't know what it was until I ordered it and it came in. It fixed my problem and I'm happy, so maybe it was worth the $11.
