I removed my "electrical tape fix" and adjusted the striker as suggested. I marked the original position with a small piece of tape then loosened the two bolts and pushed the striker about 1/16" in towards the jeep interior. I figured it didn't need to move much since a few wraps of tape did the same thing. The door still closes w/o problem. I'll have to test drive and see if it stops the rattle.
Thanks for the suggestion. I didn't know that was adjustable.

Just did the striker a week ago instead of the tape fix. So far so good. I placed a piece of masking tape at the edge to mark before loosening it & moved them in about 1/16" and it is a perfect fix for the moment.
