timwil56 Posted September 22, 2017 Share Posted September 22, 2017 I'm searching for the source of the rattling noise on my 2017. It may be from inside the door panel, but I'll have to wait until January, (and a 1300 mile drive with the noise) when I move to AZ where my tools and ramps are. I also believe that the sound may be originating from a loose aero shield or heat shield under the car. The dealership states they cannot hear the rattling and that's another story posted in another thread. As best I could, I reached under the car this morning and the passenger side composite material aero shield has some flex to it in the center and it appears one nut is missing. The bolt/stud is threaded and has a four sided 1/4" square end on it. On the same shield is a plastic nut that's about 1/2" long. I didn't remove it to see if was attached to a similar bolt/stud, but appears it could be the same. I searched the Ford Parts site and could not find any aero shield parts and accessories. My request is: can anyone assist me with locating part numbers or explosion views of the under body aero shields and corresponding parts. The view will likely show the nut that screws on to the stud. Thanks in advance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The stud/bolt I'm referring to looks to be 3/8 or 7/16, so I'm going to pick up a washer and a couple of nuts at the hardware store and install. Hopefully the slight looseness of the passenger side under body cover is the source of my rattle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn’t have stainless, I bought nylon threaded and a nylon washer. As I was installing, noticed two more studs, so I don’t think it’s a missing nut. Maybe something rattling under the aero guard. I’ll have to wait until I can get the car off the floor to check it out. Thanks for the help. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
