I found that rattle and silenced it.

My rattle fom hell turned out to be the threaded connection between the power window machinery and the door structure. The hex head screy is located to the left and slightly lower than the speaker. (Mine was on the driver's side but I am sure the passengers is the same. Access to the screrw is blocked by the factory installed sound dedening material affixed to the door. I was able to see this connection with a mirrior I held in the door while I felt around shaking things and making them squeek etc. It may be the same rattle that is bothering you. Let me know if this is the case and I will tell ford about it. All I did to fix it was a little tightening with a 7/16 socker wrench.
Good luck with your rattle.

I have the same rattle in my passenger door. I'm not sure if listening to Raffi caused it or if it was Digital Underground.....but mine does the same thing. I gave up on trying to find it. lol

^ Does it sound like it could be coming from the b-pillar molding sometimes and then from the center of the door others and then from the front/lower part at other times?

Not Work safe, They say a swear word or two in it so use your head phones:
