Rear Passenger Rattle

[Zig]

That'a Zig. 80% of the time he sounds like he's drunk and just quoting random people and comment with some random words that has nothing to do with what others say.

Darn, only 80%, that’s insufficient where I come from. Looks like I need to step it up. Oh well. Seem a little grumpy this morning, everything ok?

Op: I completely understand and yeah I wouldn’t want to either. One of those things that you just gotta find it and then show them and then hope they fix. A rear seat passenger might help but I suspect you’ll end up being the one sitting back there in order to locate it.

It's getting really annoying; I have half a mind to have my wife drive the car around an empty area of a parking lot or around the neighborhood while I side in the back and try to isolate the area. It's a plastic sounding, very superficial rattle. I agree that I'd rather not be without the 'Stang for too long and have to suffer with a rental; definitely on the first service I'll have them look.

That’s going to be my next step as well. I had the trunk apart this morning and couldn’t find anything.

Did you pull the cover over the right/passenger side of the trunk? Nothing there? That's about the closest I can think the sound comes from. Or somewhere in that area.

After riding in the back the noise is coming from this area. Sounds like a loose screw or someone left a tool. I’ve had this area apart before and nothing stood out but it’s definitely coming from here.

If you find a tool in there, it's almost certain to be a 10mm socket !

Ford, it's not just one car. It's most from what I'm hearing. If it's found out to just need some electrical tape around the back seat latches, let us know.

My particular issue isn’t the rear seat latch, I did try the tape on the latch. Mine is coming from the wheel well area. I haven’t had a chance to remove the tire and check behind the cover though.

This coming from a troll who clearly doesn't understand English very well is priceless. @Zig is a helpful member of the forum.

His point was already explained, and I thought we'd moved on, but since the troll didn't get it: Zig was stating that most people don't speak up with praises for things that work. Most people with an issue will say something sooner or later. It tends to skew perspective.

Thanks for taking that much effort to write a book for me

That's exactly where the noise comes from in my car as well!

My toe hook was rattling around where the spare tire would go. But I don't think that's your issue.

I wish it was just my tow hook but no such luck lol. I just installed my Steeda jack rails so I can jack it up and take the tire off to look in the wheel well area. I’ll let you know if I find anything

I did that too... I'd love if you found something, but I removed both rear wheels and looked at both sides of the car behind the wheels, and nothing looked/acted different. It seems it's behind the cover you showed in the picture, but it sounds like you didn't find it there either. Totally baffled.
