Roof level rattle ?

[ParachuteMan]

My California is a 2023 6.1 Ocean. Just come back from a trip. I’m pretty good at finding and sorting out rattles but this recent one has stumped me (as well as driving me crazy). Over bumps I hear a rattle, more like a clattering, on the near side, above the sink and hob unit. I’ve checked and secured the window blind both up and down, the 3 pocket window shield at the rear, the cupboard doors and all contents, the table secured by its peg. Still happens. I’m wondering if there is something loose in the pop top ? Anyone had this problem ?

Lately a strong "cloncking" sound was driving me made when riding bumpy road , i was sure it came from the sliding door and started investigate all kinds of things starting checking things on the front B-pilar , sliding door ( table , rails , bumperstops) , wind-out awning on to the C-pilar...

Yup, I have similar. Not found it yet!

Not sure if this helps, but I had a different rattle around the steering column and used a cheap medical stethoscope to locate the problem whilst my wife drove the car.

I got into some contortions whilst doing so and recalled Spike Milligan’s tale about being found in the boot of Peter Sellers’ Rolls Royce.
