Found: Source of rattling in RF door 2013' F30

I noticed at some point that I had a very faint rattle in my passenger front door over bumps. Initially, I thought it was in or under the glove box and I looked high and low to try to diagnose it.

Finally I started looking in the door area and this is what I found. The door check (or stopper if you prefer) on my car at least is plastic. The RF has cracked and when there is no tension on it (ie- door closed) it rattles around. Naturally, I took a look at all of the rest and they appear fine.

I'm not sure if this is a common problem but it's worth a look.

Thanks. I'll have to check mine out. I fixed most of the door rattles, but there is still one I can't find. This might be it!
