Odd rattle on driver's side - can't tell where it's from.

I finally found the source of my rattle- it’s the hood prop… when it’s secured under the hood, the free end doesn’t move, but the pivoting end rattles a ton within its socket. I used a ranger band to tie it up and it’s gone! Feel like there are a TON of different rattling noises in these trucks, unfortunately the solution does not appear to be one size fits all

Never heard my hood prop rattle. But after installing hood struts, I also noticed the prop end was not snug in the holder. I firmed it up by wedging the end of a plastic tie wrap into the gap.
