Rear seatbelt assembly rattle - FIXED

[Suzay]

Taco Rancher Junior solved the mystery rattle!!!!! So, although it SOUNDS like the rear passenger seatbelt assembly it’s actually the latch for the middle/driver side rear seat backs in the CENTER (from the driver perspective it sounds like the rear passenger since it’s coming into your right ear from the back area). It’s the middle latch and it’s metal on metal, likely because the spring load on the latch is not tight enough. My son was jumping up and down in the back seat and was able to identify the issue — little genius! As a temporary solution we put a piece of napkin in there and it freaking worked. Will work a permanent solution later! This was such an annoying rattle. I may also ask toyota to fix it but don’t have much hope of that.

Can you please post/send pic of the part that’s the problem. This has been going on for awhile and I’ve put shims here and there and nothing fixed it.

Will do tomorrow. It’s the loop / latch that is behind the seats when you fold them down. Just wrap it with some electrical tape. Silent.

Going to need a more long-term fix eventually.

Seems like an easy enough fix, I'll go do it, not sure if I have the same issue though
