TSB 04-02-06
Well, turns out the Ford site is working tonight so here goes.
FORD: 2004 F-150
ISSUE:
Some 2004 F-150 vehicles may exhibit a rattling and/or squeaking noise coming from the power sliding rear window.
ACTION:
To service, adhere a piece of urethane padding to the bottom of the power sliding rear window. The urethane pad is available in the Rotunda Squeak and Rattle Kit (part #164-R4900). Parts can be ordered at 1-800-ROTUNDA. Refer to the following Service Procedure.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
Remove upper run channel by pulling down and outward from the driver's side of the vehicle (Figure 1, View A). A SMALL PICK OR A PAIR OF NEEDLE NOSE PLIERS MAY BE HELPFUL.
Remove the rear seat back per Section 501-10 of the Workshop Manual.
Remove the rear trim panel per Section 501-01 of the Workshop Manual.
Remove the center child safety seat tether anchor as per Section 501-20A of the Workshop Manual.
Remove the rear center glass by pushing the glass up out of the lower window run (Figure 1, View B), then pulling forward and downward on the bottom of the pane.
Clean the lower corners of the glass with alcohol (OBTAIN LOCALLY).
Cut two (2) pieces of urethane pad (part #164-R4902) 5 mm wide and 25 mm long (0.20" wide and 1" long).
Attach the urethane padding to the bottom of the lower corners of the glass.
NOTE: BEGIN ADHESION OF THE URETHANE PAD EDGE 20 MM (0.75") INBOARD OF THE CORNER ON THE HORIZONTAL EDGE OF GLASS, ENSURING THAT THE CORNER IS WRAPPED IN FELT.
Reinstall the glass in reverse order of removal. ENSURE THAT THE URETHANE PAD DOES NOT ROLL DURING REASSEMBLY.

I also had this rattle and it was very noticable while I was out hunting traveling on the back roads. After a few days I noticed that it occurs mostly when the truck is warmed up. Took it into the dealership yesterday, forman called said he could not find any noise. I told him I was not surprised as it was cold and raining out. They know me well there and I was not surprised that when I went to pick it up he came out and told me that he found a TSB about replacing the lower track on the sliding window and that the parts were on order.

SAME RATTLE
I have the same exact problem, plus another.
2004 Supercrew FX4 with the power-slide rear window
1. The rattle at the rear of the cab, seems like under the window area, behind the seat. Can't find it. But it's there.
2. With the rear window open, a terrible, cricket-like, high pitched, non-stop squeeking noise while moving.. close the window, noise gone.. cant be sure if its outside in the bed, or the window itself.
ideas?

I have the powerslide rear window and mine only makes noise when the window is opened at all. If I close it there is no noise what so ever.... I wonder if your 'cricket' noise is what I am calling a rattle..?
Either way, looks like I will be bringing it in for the TSB above.

In my Lariat, the rattle is in the headliner, on the drivers side, at the very rear.
I pressed on the headliner (it's a hard shell, covered in cushy fabric) in that back corner, pressed in the mounting stud (plastic cap) as hard as I could, and reseated the weatherstripping on the door edge.
Quiet for now.
At least that's what was makin' noise in my truck.

Just noticed mine has that too! I thought it was the rear sliding window, but then I press up on the headliner behind me and sure enough! Nice quality ford, stupid *** rattle box

My 04 Screw FX4 is going in today for the 3rd time (8000 miles) for the sliding rr wdo squeak. The first TSB didn't work (1500 miles) , the 2nd new & improved TSB didn't work (4500 miles) now the QC person at the dealer is involved w/the Ford rep. Apparently I am getting a whole new rr w/do assembly. My confidence is not high at this point. Stay tuned!
