Help finding rattle
Rattle coming from behind rear seat around or just below the window seal. Under where the headrest is. I removed the seat and the felt lining and still cannot find the rattle.
Rattle seems to go along with the shaking of the bed. Like a wire under the bed rail or something.
Any ideas?

I have a power sliding window that has an annoying clicking kind of rattle. I am sure that is what mine is because I just barely opened the window and the clicking went away. I am pretty sure it will be an easy fix.

Sounds like my rattle. I have secured the rear window, sat people in the back, and still can't find that pesky rattle. It is in the rear, and seams to be closer to the passengers side. I have tried the following.
Seats up/down
Jack out
Rear window open/closed
Rear window tightened with foam and wedged
Foam around where seatbelts bolts to pillar
Bed empty
Bed full
Still no fix for me.

Well I think I fixed it. Sprayed some silcone on the rubber cab mounts under the truck. I know the rattle did'nt sound like it was coming from there. Have not had the rattle since.
Hope this helps

Please let us know if the rattle comes back. It sure sounds like it's coming from inside the cab.

Do you have a roll up tonneau cover by any chance? Because I hvae the same noise and i thought it was the sliding window causing the rubber noise. It ended up being that my tonneau cover was squeaking becase in the colder months, the vinyl shrinks and makes all sorts of noise. Give that a shot

I had this same kind of problem. Sounds like wet shoes on a linoleum floor or pieces of rubber rubbing against one another??? There's a tsb out there for the rear window gasket. They just have to re-lube it and it's good to go.
On a side not, one of ya'll said that there is a tsb out there for a rattling sliding rear window? I hope so, mine is driving me nuts.

You know, I have that sound. It is like two pieces of styrofoam rubbing together. I have noticed that the sound does not occur when it is wet and rainy. I might have to look into that tsb.

when you hear the rattle push up on your center dome light inside. i had a rattle that was driving me crazy and i finally figured it out to be where the dome light is. on the side of the headliner that meets the roof, there were square pieces of foam (hard almost rubber like) on each side of the dome light that were actually hitting the cross bar that goes across the truck. my rattle would even happen like when i would shut my doors. not sure if the cross bars are there in models without a sunroof, but i ripped them out (just glued on) and the rattle is gone. it was actually the headliner moving up and making contact on the square foam pieces with the cross bar. hope it helps
