Default Rattling door panels

I have been dealing with a squeaking in mostly in the driver side door and it's mosty hitting bumps on the road that causes the squeaking. if I pull on the door slightly while I'm driving the squeaking noise stops. Been into the local Ford dealership several times expressing my wish to have this squeaking noise attended to. They put some felt tape along the edge of the door panels. Which did help a bit. Recently the rattling has become quite irritating to the point where I've taken it back in and asked them to diagnose where this noises coming from because I'm just can't drive like this no more.
The mechanic tells me he had two of his colleagues go for a drive in my truck and neither one of them could hear any rattling noise. They want me to book a road test with them to prove that these noises are happening.
The noises are so obvious it's disturbing to me that I have to go back time and time and time again to prove to the mechanics what is the problem going on. I went onto this site for the first time yesterday to check out if anybody else with the F1 50 truck is having the same kind of problem. Sure enough there is someone else others who are having the same type of rattling noise in the panel of the door driver side door and even passenger side door. Even explains what it is that needs to be done to prevent and take away these rattling noises inside the door. But yet the Ford mechanics look at me like I'm an idiot. Want me to prove that I'm hearing these noises that they don't hear. I'm very aggravated after spending almost $74,000 on this truck and I'm now hating the experience of owning this driving. Can somebody please help me

Is it a squeaking noise or a rattling noise? Big difference. If it's rattling there are several options to fix it. I don't know about squeaking.

1) HINT/TIP: Put your vehicle information (year, cab type, trim, engine, wheelbase, _x4 drive, etc.) in your signature -OR- provide it in your posting(s).
.

2) HINT/TIP: You'll find posting in the appropriate
< year of the F-150 >
section more helpful/appropriate than General F150 Discussion posts.

Welcome, Williesfx150!

A road test with your dealer's a great way to get this looked into. What's your year and mileage?

Have you tried wiping some silicone spray all along your door weather stripping? Spray on a rag and wipe away. This cured my rattles. Weather stripping was sticking, rubbing on door frame.

Will they look at this issue if we are out of the BTB warranty?

Hi flyinpig14,

Your dealership would be pleased to take a look into this. Pass along the year and mileage of your rig; I'll see how I can lend a hand with those door panels.

My passenger side door rattles occasionally, mostly if I'm going over washboard or something like it........
