When I first bought my 96 200SX, it had a very annoying rattle from one of the back speakers... turns out the paper cone had ripped.
It's definitely the panel and not the speakers. It was 10c or 50f or something today with no rattles. Your theory about metal, plastic and cold is bang on IMO. I was just looking to see if other owners were experiencing similar.
