Get some dynamat and stick it to the spots that rattle.

Are you completely sure it's the window frame? I know the lock mechanisms (plus all the bars connecting handles to locks, etc.) loosen up over the years and cause all sorts of rattles

You need to do this. What you think is window frame rattle is more likely to be panel resonance.

I done this to my VP wagon, with Soundstream Deathmat. Doesn't stick too well so will be ripping it off and using Dynamat
Made a MASSIVE difference.
No rattles + better sound from my speakers = winning :D
