Maybe one of the wiring harnesses in the door isn't clipped down and it is hitting back and forth on the plastic. The lock and door release cables could not be in their clip too.

Dumb question: Have you checked the map pockets for something that is rolling around?

Dumb answer: No, but I know that is not the problem, even if i open really slow or close it really slow, it does it.

I'm going to check the cables!
thanks anyway

think i know where it's coming from, i had the same noise. It's from the small metal (plastic?) arm that links the door to the car body around the hinge area. It's the part that causes the door to stay open and not close back on u when u open it. The bolt that holds it onto the car body comes loose and causes it to pop around when u open/close the door. Just tighten it with a screw driver and put some thread lock on it.

Twice i've had clicking, both times because of leaves.

I had one leaf in the door. Other time I had a leaf on the front dash, on the outside by the mirror. They were hanging on for dear life and making a lot of noise. Took me like 15 mins to figure out what the hell was making the noise.

Looks like your problem is something else though..
