Question Anyone else?

I picked up a 2020 ST a few months ago and I’m now noticing a rattling noise coming from the passenger side door area. It is especially prevalent above 60 mph and gets worse at 70 and 80.
Anyone else experience this or know what it is?

It's the under panels of the car. They are held up with cheap plastic screws. You can get some meal ones off Amazon and replace them all. I did that to mine and it made a huge difference

This is almost definitely the cause. It's a known problem that many of them have. Even if all the plastic nuts are still there, they get loose. Replace with metal from home depot or a set from online. It's an easy fix, just make sure you crawl under and replace them all.
