rattle to the right of ear
« on: 13 May 2014, 20:02 »
I seem to have metallic or glass against metal rattling whist driving along. Thought it was my own windows but it doesn't change if up or down, now I think it relates to the seat belt holder moving slightly up or down. Anyone else and simple fix?

I had this on the passenger side. All I did was slide the seat belt adjuster up and down and I have never had it again since.

I reckon my exhaust is causing resonance problems lol I've tried that one. I've pushed it to the top and see if that helps tomorrow

I had some really annoying creaking around the door frames which I eventually traced to the hard black plastic trims rubbing on the metal in the inner side of the doors. I ended up buying some silicone spray which has worked wonders so far. :smiley:

I find that my passenger side wing mirror creaks on unfolding - only when it's warm though.  Luckily,  living in Scotland it's not something I hear too often... :whistle:

ok rattle still seems to the be there, and ive held the seatbelt holder in place while driving and it still makes the noise, so now im stumped. It sounds like its coming from further back than the seat belt holder but there is nothing there its a 3 door after all. Still sounds very tinny like glass rattling against metal but it aint my only window so im at a loss.

Serious silicone spray this weekend.
