07 Yukon. In the rear cargo area, passenger side, above the window, I have a really annoying rattle. Occurs when driving at highway speed; sounds like something metal vibrating. Trim and roof liner are both tight; seems to be somewhere internal in the upper wall. Pushing on the area does not affect the rattle. Any thoughts?

Common issue. Probably the plastic panel above the taillight. Tap on the side that touches the side window and if it rattles it’s it. I can tell you how to fix it later if it’s it. Super simple DIY $10 fix

I had a similar noise, I found the seatbelt was loose on the 3rd row passenger side. I found it when I removed the 3rd row one day and the rattle was gone

He can’t tell you, if he does he’ll have to kill you after so might as well leave the rattle....

Very interested in this. I have a "chirp" type sound coming from the roof area above the third row seats (driver side). I loosened some trim pieces and road around in the back while my wife hot-rodded around the neighborhood :) I could hear it but couldn't put any pressure that would stop the sound. Not sure if I was in the exact right area or what. I should take a video of it. It's very annoying while driving around at different speeds and it shows up. This is on a 2007 Tahoe.

Pull the plastic piece off and you will notice that at least one tab is snapped off. I wrapped the remaining tabs in duck tape and that stopped the rattle for me.
