ROFLMAO
Is it coming front the front or rear passenger side? Could be the seat belt in both cases OR rear quarter panel. If you can't locate it, then it might be wise to crank up your tunes a little louder

I noticed this, but with my drivers side. so I pulled the door off, and tightened up all the bolts that hold the glass in.
no more rattles!

mine was rattleing from the passenger side door and it turned out to be the lock and the door handle rods that run from them to the mechanisim, they cross over and everytime the bass hits they clang together. i ended up tapeing a big piece of foam inbetween them... unfortunatly they cross halfway inbetween the handle and the mechanisim on the passengers side so theres a lot more flex (rattle) on that side where as they cross a lot more closely to the mechanism on the drivers side, so its not that much of a problem...
if this makes sense i hope its cleared some stuff up... if it doesnt take the door pannel off and youll see the 2 metal rods i was talkin about

i think its from under the bonnet in the passenger side
would it be because of the worn out engine mounts?
how much do they cost???

sounds like your bonnet latch, u know the metal bit that keeps the bonnet open, mine does the same thing, nothin to worry about just chuck some padding under it and it wont rattle anymore

it could be anything....
can you give us a more accurate location? like in the cabin, under the bonnet, in the suspension, etc
try looking at your front left swaybar droplink... or even your swaybar bush...

Dude, I know what it is .. maybe (: .. it took me AGES to find out what it was ... and you may notice it only happens when your driving by yourself... it is the passanger seat, after a while it comes a little loose on the rails .. rubbers etc.. and as the suspension is so hard in FTO's, the seat vibrates ever so slightly on the rails.. makes a great old car crappy noise (:
