Rattle is driving me nuts!!!!
I have a rattle somewhere in the back half of my cap somewhere on the roof. I had a friend sit back there last night and we still couldnt find it. It only happens when im driving at highway speeds. It gets worse for some reason when i pass a semi of the wind is blowing across the highway. I was beginning to think it is that rubber strip that goes the length of the cab but none of it was loose so am back to just being fustrated. Someone please help if you can. I do not want to drive all the way back to the ford dealership i bought this from just to have them tell me they cant duplicate the problem. Thanks for any help.

do u have a sunroof the factory one? if so there are 2rubber blocks in the headliner that rattle. easy fix i just poped out the dome light and stuck some foam tape on them.. otherwise it sounds like your rear sliding window. mine did it when i got it drove me crazy i slid the wingow open and rubbed some grease in the track were the window slides on. all better now. hope this helps

Basically what has happened is that your headliner supports come loose and thats whats rattling, why it comes loose I don't know. It took many months before it started in mine. Just take it to your dealer and let them know whats wrong and they will fix it and you are going to amazed that you didn't take it in sooner. There is a TSB so it should be covered for you. Good luck.
I found the TSB number that I used: TSB 05-14-2 Good luck!

yes i noted that eirlier i dont think he saw it. i just greased my weather stripping on the bottom and the noise stopped. very common .
