FordPartsGuy73 Posted August 11, 2025 Report Share Posted August 11, 2025 I have a 2022 ST, have had that noise now for a year and a half and the dealer put 2 new sunshades in, a new headliner and nothing, told me they couldn't figure it out. I think I figured it out, it might be the guide cables making all of the noise there is one on the left and one on the right. Going to have a buddy of mine looking into this, Keep you posted.

I thought I fixed this on my 22 ST a couple of years ago, but it keeps coming back and I have tried everything in that area around that clip and it won't stop anymore. I'm beginning to think it could be something like the cables as you mentioned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STBEAST Posted December 17, 2025 Report Share Posted December 17, 2025 UPDATE, I did the same thing fishx65, used one of those Velcro pads and wedged it under the clip. No more rattle! What a nightmare that Ford could not figure this out. Thanks for this Forum. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishx65 Posted January 4 Report Share Posted January 4 (edited) So my felt pad under the clip only works for so long but the rattle eventually comes back. I finally came up with a permanent solution!!! The black cross bar that the sunshade rolls under was always the main suspect in my mind. Just for the heck of it I jammed a microfiber towel between that bar and the roof and the ticking/rattle never came back. A foam stress ball works even better and allows the sunshade to operate just fine. Edited January 12 by fishx65 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A foam stress ball works even better and allows the sunshade to operate just fine. My final solution was the Incredible Hulk from the Dollar Tree. It was a tough decision between the Hulk and Captain America but I figure the Hulk is stronger:) For some reason the second picture isn't working now...can you please repost it so it's clear to see how you wedged Hulk in there?

fishx65 Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 (edited) I just jammed it between the bar and the roof right in the middle. The clip trick that everyone uses just adds pressure to the bar on the passenger side which can also prevent the rattle but mine kept coming back. Putting more pressure in the middle of the bar seems like a better solution and the foam keeps the pressure on the bar despite temperature changes.

STBEAST Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 Without a doubt. My felt pad that you recommended is working really well, but I do expect the rattle to come back over time. So glad we have narrowed it down to that bar. I kind of realized that it wasn't the clip but more the bar itself. Extra pressure on the clip was more a band aid than a fix. fishx65 thanks for the update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you still open and close the shade and the glass with this in there? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to change this response. Only use a stress ball. The Hulk was too small and didn't fit tight enough so it got rolled up in the shade and was a bear to get out.
