Default Rattling Rocker Panel

So yesterday, while putting on the new jk forum sticker on under the "wrangler" sticker I noticed something different about the rocker panel. When I tap it it makes a rattleing sound as if a bolt or something is loose and allowing it to make this sound. I tapped the passenger side and it sounded solid. Anyone ever have this problem? Should I bring this up to the dealership?

Numerous questions- Do you have running boards? Check all fasteners for tightness. Make sure the lower fender attachment bolts are tight. Is the sound coming from the welded rocker panel itself? Noises can have 50 different causes. If it's on the right side, your radio mast can make a stange sound but it usually isn't transmitted inside the body. If it sounds like it's inside your welded rocker you can drill a 1/4'' hole on the back side and spray a full can of rubberized undercoating inside the rocker. Once it sets up it will hold anything loose and prevent rattles in the future.
