Rear quarter panel noise

Anyone have any experience or idea of what could be causing a rattling like noise from the rear quarter panels (both driver and passenger sides) when traveling at highway speeds?

Loose inner plastic shields in the wheelhouses? Or how to describe them!

Yup, that's exactly what it seems to be. Took a closer look and saw some screws were loose and was able to mimic the sound by moving the loose shield against the fender. Thanks!

Make sure the screws are not too long. Take a look in the parts book, if the screws are too long they will rub on the bottom of the fender and cause noise and corrosion problems down the road.
