Help with increasing interior rattles

Hey guys, well it seems like I develop a new interior rattle every week now. :o

For some time now the scab doors have rattled like crazy when going over bumps. Ive taken it do a couple dealers and they say everything is adjusted, its just a poor design from Ford. Has anyone fixed their Scab door movement.

The other(and more annoying issue) is the never ending plastic rattles that are all of the sudden coming out. One is from the door panels at the top( near the door locks). Its a constant ticking noise, Ive tried pushing on the panel and it just seems like thin plastic thats moving. The other is the plastic panel the covers the scab door rattles if you so much as look at a bump in the road. Ive tried putting rubber tape between the plastic panels but doesnt reallly help. Im tempted to take apart my door panels and inserting some felt or other material to cut down the noises. What worries me is that the truck is only 1.5 yrs old and rattles more than my 93 F150 already. Any ideas?

SCab doors need to be shut firmly and they will not rattle.

My doors on my screw are starting to rattle too. .in my last truck the little pins that hold the door panels on started to break and the panels would rattle and so would the part that broke off in the door. . . I have yet to check out what my rattle is yet, just know its in my drivers side door. .

I have no door rattles, but I have the annoying ticking rattle on my rear power slider window. I know what the fix is, as there is a tsb out on this one. I may fix it myself rather that go through the hassel of a dealer visit just for that. I just needs a rubber bumper placed on the keeper.

i've got 800 miles on my 2006 scab and my back window drivers side has just started to rattle. i think the only thing to do is get a AEM brute force intake to drown it out.
