Move the top of the door in 1mm by adjusting the top hinge mount. Here is a couple of pics from the service manual. Not a big job.

I used a sharpie to mark the original hinge position for reference - I worried i'd lose track of any changes i made.

THANK YOU! top adjustment took care of my door rattle bringing a tighter seal against the top rear door area. 1mm adjustment was all it needed. Took 2 minutes.

Once the bolt is loose it's the door which will move forward/backwards. Pull the door back 1 or 2mm only. Retighten to set the door in its new position relative to the hinge. I marked the original door to hinge so I had a reference to go back to if needed. Move the door too much and the door will look too recessed above the wing mirror at the front.. Very small adjustments only.

Not the seal on the windshield. Dealer just bought my 2015 Lariat back. Issue is the seal between the door weather stripping & body. They adjusted it 3 times but no go & actually got worse. They bought back for several reasons. I now have a 2016 Platinum with the same issue. I test drove the truck with no issues, but the more I drive it, it's back. The weather stripping is not holding a seal on certain bumps. FORD needs to address this issue!
Not ALL trucks, but a decent amount are having these issues. I'm just tired of going back to the dealer at this point.

Guys...I hardly ever sign on anymore, but did today and saw this. It's very likely the seal on the windshield near the top on the passenger side. If you're getting this noise intermittently at reasonable speed, that's what it is....Ford knows about it and has a fix. The regional cs manager told me just to call my dealer and they'll tale care of it. I haven't yet, but there is a whole thread on this a few months back.
