Hello everyone, first time posting here, but I couldn't find others with an issue similar to mine.

Whenever I hit highway speeds, especially in 75 mph zones, there is a loud vibrating noise that sounds like its coming from the headliner, near where it meets the top of the windshield. I am having trouble locating the cause of the vibration. I know it is not the hood vibrating as others have complained about. The puzzling part is that sometimes I can press on the headliner towards the middle of the windshield and the noise will temporarily stop.

Has anyone dealt with this before, or have any ideas of where to start looking?

Thanks in advance

 

Hello,
We have a 2016 Explorer with only 58,000 miles and just a few weeks ago we started to get the same vibration sound. But my wife says it is coming from the right lower corner of the windshield and the dash. I tried pushing on the headliner as she is driving with no luck. The sounds for us starts around 65 mph.
Have you found the source of the vibration yet?

Thank you

 

I have the same problem in mine, but it seems to be around the drivers side rear seat map light.. I had a rattle in the front by the windshield but that was the exterior trim piece. Anyone have any luck with headliner rattles?

 

I’ve been chasing a similar noise in ours, although it mainly seems to be at highway speed with a cross wind. I had something like this on an 05 F-150 and it ended up being a piece of trim on the exterior so I’m going to be poking around that area first. Good luck and happy Thanksgiving!

 

I'd start with getting your tires rotated and balanced. If that doesn't help, maybe a driveline has become out of spec? That can cause lots of vibration.
