Happened to my 90 Multivan yesterday.  Only when winds were swirling and
over about 63 mph.  I searched the archives and supposedly it can be
relieved by cracking the wing side windows.  Of course, that makes more
noise than the rattling.  (Less unsettling though!)  Someone suggested
putting in some weather-stripping.  Any other suggestions?  My rubber edge
is tight but not meeting the front edge uniformly.  (Possibly some warping
on the luggage top?)  Anyway, that's where it catches the wind and rattles.
