Our 2005 Vectra developed an annoying rattle in the vicinity of the entry door that was very difficult to track down.  It was intermittent, but seemed to be related to airflow in some manner, since opening the passenger side window would frequently cause it to go away!  I finally figured out that it was the outer sheet metal panel on the door itself.  The bottom lip of the panel had a single pop-rivet in the center and that rivet was loose, allowing the panel to move/rattle.  I drilled out the old rivet and replaced it and then added one more on either side of it for good measure.  Problem fixed!  You should be able to see all three rivets in the attached photo.

Yep...thanks for the post Chris!  This will certainly be a help for others.

I'm going to look at the bottom of my door, because we have an annoying rattle also.....
