I have recently discovered a rattle near the windshield on the driver’s side of my 2016 Ford Expedition. Only happens when driving so a bit tough to find an exact location of the annoying rattle. Any ideas on how to pinpoint it and fix it myself?

Nobody can tell you how to fix the rattle until it’s been determined what’s causing it.

Have a helper ride with you, then when the rattle starts, have the helper push/pull on the dash, windshield, under the dash, etc…

If you’re lucky, you’ll find the cause of the rattle.
