SuperCrew Door Rattle (Clunk) Fix......Give This A Try
Hey, I just bought my 07 SuperCrew and it has a door rattle on the drivers side when you hit sharp stuff. EDIT: this is for the clunk that sounds like the door is only half latched. I searched and came up with everything from a B.S. electrical tape fix on the striker to drilling the striker holes and putting regular bolts in it so they could be adjusted. What?....... No way it was that. So I take a look at the door stop bumpers, the ones that are on the inside lip of the doors at about handle height that meet the door sill. They are all mushroomed so I bought new ones for the front doors and it helped, the rattle is about 90% gone. So I look at the ones for the rear doors which are shorter and kind of triangle shaped. They look good but when I did a mark out they just barely meet the sill. So I put the old fronts bumpers which are longer on the rear doors and that almost did it so I went and bought a couple more front bumpers and threw them in the rear door and bingo, no more rattle and the doors close nice and tight. Buy quantity 4 of Ford part # W705903 S300 and install them and you should be set. Around $6.00 Hope it helps.

I believe that's the rattle I have. Annoying as hell, but luckily it comes and goes. I'll give to give the zip tie trick a go.

You're freaking kidding me right? I have had my truck to the dealer 3 times and I personally have had the door apart about 12 times trying to fix this rattle. It is worse when it is cold out. I had my suspicions about the cable but figured that it wouldn't make that much noise. My passenger door is the one rattling on mine. I also though that it could be the interior door handle until I ruled that out by having my son hold the handle while I drove. THANK YOU! I am going to fix this now!

Thanks for the props guys, I hope this helps you out because I know I hate rattles and clunks. I threw the old bumpers away so no pics of them but here are pics of the new ones in place. If you look at your stock front ones they will look really mushroomed. The stock rears will probably look fine but they just don't make enough contact on the jam to tighten the door striker to the latch. The new ones seem a little more stout too, they are probably a updated part #. It worked for me and took care of the clunk.
Front door......
Rear door......
Hope it helps.

If it doesn't you may also want to check and see if any of your window regulator bolts are loosey goosey. That can also cause a chatter as my neighbor had it happen to him.
