Clicking / Rattle from Rear

[MidnightGhostie]

I have a 2018 Ram crew cab Laramie that has about 800 miles on it... from about 200 miles on I have developed a noise that sounds like its coming somewhere from the rear window or seat area. Almost sounds like a cable tapping / rattling over bumps. Sometimes it stops after the truck warms up a bit. Checked back there and everything seems to be fine. Any ideas?

I went from a white 2016 to a Midnight Steel Metallic 2018. I have to say the color is amazing

I was going to ask if you had nerf bars but now I see you do. My after market nerf bars attach in the same location as your. The rear mount on the right side actually tore the rocker panel where it bolted on. The noise it made was like you describe. Checking with the after market installer and dealer they said they have seen happen on many Ram pickups. I ordered new mounts that use the body mounts and not the thin rocker panel mounts. I hope this is not the scource of noise for you.

My passenger side seatbelt will rattle against the inside of the truck if it is not laid flat.

were you able to see the tear if you got under the truck? These are OEM ram nerf bars
