SOURCE OF NOISE FOUND!!! After many failed attempts, and with hope of finding the source of the rattle on my own diminishing, I decided to get some help from my dad to drive my truck so I could sit in the passenger seat and hear the noise for myself. Armed with a stethoscope specifically made for cars (can be bought off of amazon for like $15 lol), I was sure I was going to find the noise. To knock out two birds with one stone, I went ahead and used some painters tape to seal up the windshield, where it meets with the body/door pillar. Much to my surprise, when we started driving down the road, I couldn't hear the noise. I thought I was losing my marbles lol. This led me to believe either the seal of the windshield itself was faulty, or the roof molding trim on top was creating the "rattle" noise. This made more sense to me as the sound increased with speed. Even though the molding had a bit of play, I initially threw it off the table because it really didn't seem that bad... That being said, I removed the small bit of tape that I rather unintentionally covered the end of the molding with. Low and behold, the noise returned! I found that the little plastic insert was rattling around and perhaps slapping against the roof of the truck. After taping off the area, I applied a small dap of black silicon under the end and taped it down for it to dry. On my drive to work this morning, the noise was GONE!!! Needless to say, my marbles have been restored, and I know exactly what to look for when the driver side inevitably does the same thing lol. *Whew* All is well again lol.

Has anyone figured out the source of the rattle? Mine sounds almost exactly the same, but it is happening on the passenger side.

Same issue here. Did you ever find a solution? It’s driving me nuts!
