Does anyone have this annoying rattle that comes from your window trims ?

my driver and rear pass window rattles with my windows up going 75+ or when it’s really windy outside & when I drive with my windows down.

My wife seems to hear a rattle from the front passenger winder trim, near the A pillar every so often. She pushes around on the trim, and it goes away. I’ve never heard it. Must be another form of “selective” hearing.

I have the same rattle. It seems to come and go based upon the ambient temperature, direct sunlight, and use of the window. I’ve noticed if I raise the window up and down the rattle will disappear 50% of the time. I put felt tape on the inside of the trim where the widow rests on and it’s seems to have made a slight difference. I’ve got an oil change next week and I am going to get the service departments input. I’ll keep you posted.

Quick update on my end, the rattle is actually coming from the door panel/arm rest window area. I thought it was the rubber window seal but pressing against the door panel makes the noise disappear. Dealer said they will take the door panel apart.

I’ll have to let my wife know and see if that’s the same as mine

Same - Seems like it comes from the door lock pop up thingy.

I have this very issue - new 2023 Raptor - purchased 3 weeks ago.

I can get the noise to stop if I squeeze my finger in between the door and the weather strip in the top corner of the door. As soon as I take my finger out it returns. Given that, it appears that sound is coming from the door and the weather seal rubbing together, most likely because its not a tight fit between the upper door and body.
