Body creaks

[SmoothJ]

I know as it gets colder, like anything else, parts and alignment of parts can shift a bit. However for the past few weeks, I have been having this odd body creak when going over bumps or when the car is not quite level. I don't recall this happening during the summer time, or even last year. I thought it originally came from the inside, like something rubbing on something else. However after taking out the car seat, some water bottles, tire kit, umbrellas, stuff in the cup holders, both glove boxes, checking under the seats, and etc - I can't find anything that would be making that creaking. My next action plan was to pull down the other seat to check the amps and cables, but other than at, I am puzzled.

Also roll back [open] the moon roof sun screen, mine has an intermittent rattle when the screen is fully closed, but when I open it fully or even partially the rattle disappears.

I tried reopening and closing the shade/moon roof, but never left it open to test if there is noise. I will do that tonight and see if thats it.

Is a rattling/creaking plastic sound? If so, it's probably coming from one of Ford's mint quality door panels ? lol

Ditto! I just started getting the same rattle when the sun screen cover is closed. Took me a few drives to locate the source. Opening mine part way also stops the rattle.

My body creaks in the cold too. But my truck is still pretty quiet.
