My rear seat belt area is making a really bad clicking/rattling noise. It’s not a super good video but it records the sound really well. Has anybody had the same issues and how did you solve it?https://youtube.com/shorts/GzKD93jzF...OOTXjM1JE8LVus

Is the rear seat latched?

I basically removed all the interior today except the ceiling panel and the rattling is still there. I can feel it’s there but can’t locate it

Try this. Park on something flat and open the door as far as it opens. Basically use it as a lever and rock the car left and right by pushing down on the door and lifting it. If you hear it rattling then you're hearing something in the sway bar assembly. Bushings or links.

I will try it, I rode in the back with all the panel gutted out, sounds like it’s from the quarter panel but there’s nothing there 🥲

I jacked the car up and shake the hell outta the rear sway bar, it’s super stable. ��

Exhaust rattle, nothing rubbing on driveshaft.

You cant jack it up... if the wheels aren't on the ground then the sway bar isn't doing anything. Just try it in your driveway. Don't focus on what it is yet just focus on. Will it make the noise when i do this?. If it does , then go look into the sway bar
If it doesn't then try something else. Like kick an exhaust pipe and see if it knocks against the body.

It’s not the exhaust, it only rattles when I drive over a bump or when the car shakes left and right

I only jacked up th driver rear side, shakes the sway bar and exhaust when I was down there. I thought it’s a losing bolt or some

Yea you can't do that...

When you lift one side it completely binds the sway bar. So any rattle you're trying to find will be bound tight and won't rattle even if the bolts were loose.

When you're driving your sway bar is trying its hardest to keep your left and right wheels level. So if you lift the car on one side the wheel moves down from being unloaded. But since the opposite doesn't move down the bar forces itself against the downward movement in an attempt to push the wheel back up.

That's why i said PUT IT ON LEVEL GROUND.
