The infamous "B" post rattle that wasn't.
(2017 Escape Titanium w/ New England Cold Weather Package)
It's been driving me crazy for weeks. A small rattle that I would swear was passenger front door or b-post. Couldn't find it. Took the door panel off. No joy. Read someone's post about loose skid guards underneath and checked. No joy. Got back in at the post office and when I closed the driver's door I heard it. Discovering I could reliable make it rattle while stopped, I pulled into the garage and sat in the back seat and passenger seat to duplicate....and.... it wasn't a door or b-post rattle. The noise suddenly seemed to be on the driver's side.
After some trial and error, the FSCKING RATTLE was the pen in the pen-holder tray in the center console.
SMH.
Hope this helps someone.
