The pic below has a circle where the foam is supposed to be, just below the handle carrier and on the structural "beam". I suspect the window can rattle against this area as there is no rear window channel on these cars (same guy who designed the clips I bet).
Unfortunately I didn't put 2 and 2 together until I had buttoned up the pax door and opened up the driver's side door and saw the foam. Next time I open the doors up will be to upgrade the speakers so I'll glue/stick some replacement foam in that area then.

Mine does not have any foam there either, PS or DS. When you hear a crazy door rattle (way worse with windows down or partially), I've found it's usually related to the black clip that goes onto the metal latch being broken or not present. Doors sound like a bank vault if that is latched properly. But if they aren't... door sounds like a bucket of bolts.
