Stupid rattle!

bugmcw · 11-18-2010, 09:48 AM

I have the most annoying rattle right behind my left ear when driving at highway speed, does anyone know what this could be? It is absolutely driving me nuts. I need to put someone in the backseat to look for it.

Just wanted to vent.

I remember reading about a B pillar seat belt rattling issue. Here's a thread that may help: http://www.e90post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=9848

I think I have the same issue. It comes and goes for me though. I put my ear RIGHT NEXT to the seat belt thing on the upper B pillar and I can hear that the noise comes from there, no doubt. Sounds like a little loose spring or something (metallic ticking).
