I have a rattle coming from the passenger side rear seatbelt assembly. I’ve ignored it for a while but it’s getting worse and worse. Now it’s just constantly clicking and rattling. Even if I secure it down and click into the seatbelt the parts that go into the pillar on the top and bottom seem to be rattling. I’ve tried everything and it doesn’t stop. The driver side one rarely makes a sound. Anyone experience this?

I'm only 1600km in on my truck so take my experience with a grain of salt, but I have absolutely no rattles or anything so far, I have all my rear seat belts tucked into the side clip and the middle one in its spot, headrests removed etc

did you replace the seatbelt into the clip when not in use?

I don’t think it does anything because the rattle is coming from the top or bottom connection points into the pillar. Seems like something is loose on the inside.

No rattles here either, but I will take a look at my truck and see if I can offer any suggestions.

It definitely sounds like something is loose and getting looser, so it could be a safety issue for rear passengers.

Tell your dealer it is like the floor mat problem and they might fly in a rescue team!

No rattle here after 6,000 miles. They'll fix it.

I’m experiencing noises from the passenger door area. Gen 4 trd off road with 26000km. Sounds somewhat like the door isn’t fully closed. More pronounced with the very cold temperatures in my area. Was going to investigate more when it warms up.

My truck has had the same clicking/rattle from the same area since new!

Actually there were a couple of sounds, but one was from loose jack and/or tools behind the seat.

Please let us know if the dealer is able to cure this.

thanks,
max

I will! It’s super annoying but should be fixable.

I had a rattle (clicking sound) coming from front passenger area. I initially thought it was the seat belt assembly. It turned out to be the door strike. I put some silicone spray to the door strike and the rattle was gone.

Have you pressed into the door trim. It might be coming from there. That was the case for me as the door trim had a tab that wasn’t secure in the middle.
