    I have a 24 pro with the same issue. When I put the back window down I get crazy rattle. I found a fix though: play loud music anyway, a buddy of mine owns a 23 pro with the same issue.

    The dealership said its "normal", it sure as heck doesn't sound normal to me.

    I have the same issue. Was driving with my brother in the back seat and he stuck his whole body out the back window and said it was from the back of the bed. He then got in the bed and confirmed it was in the corners of the tailgate. When we stopped and looked further into it also noticed it made the same rattle when the back door is closed, which was the tailgate support cables rattling. With the tail gate half open you can see how much play is in these cables. At least for my truck is the cables, so much slop causing the rattle.

    My two rear passenger windows rattle pretty badly when slightly open. Grabbing them with my hand (parked) I can replicate the sound easily and there is about a .5 - 1cm amount of movement while very lightly shaking them.

    I noticed this driving when I have my dog in the back, letting her catch some sniffs.

    It feels like the window is too small for the track, or, much better tract support and insulation should have been used.

    Mine is also impacted by the wind noise from the front driver and a little by the front pass.

    I've got the same back seat window(s) rattle. Dealership looked at a few new models on the lot and they all did it. Resolution: Same song and dance..."Characteristic of these trucks. No issue."

    my 22 drove me nuts with the rattles when the rear window was down over ever bump at low speeds. I found the problem to be the bed and mounts instead. Whenever I stepped on the bed I would hear a creak. I isolated the noise down to the bed mount nearest to the driver side. Took out the bolt, Lifted the bed a little, slid a thin rubber washer under the mounting points and put the bolt back. no more creaks and no more rattles with the rear windows down. So in my case it was a creaky bed that made it sound like it was rattling over bumps. Hope this helps solve some problems.
