Rattle in rear passenger roll bar

[analog]

Brand new badlands, less than 1k miles on it. I have a strange rattle come from the roll bar area above the rear passenger seat since the day I got. Having a hard time figuring out if it’s something lose or air coming in from somewhere. It’s only above about 60mph and seems to be getting worse / louder with time.

Has anyone else had this?
Any suggestions before I head to the dealer?

Sounds like something tiny and thin metal……maybe a panel clip?

Possibly! @Ford Motor Company any thoughts?

If anyone else happens to stumble on this thread with a similar issue, it turned out the bolts for the crossbars installed by the factory were loose and missing “insulators”. Dealer took apart the whole roll bar trim before finding the issue.

doh.
