Passenger Seat Rattling

Anyone experience this?

I was just very surprised.

You sure it's not the seatbelt? When a passenger leaves my car, the belt is almost always left in a half-twist so that the hardware his the B pillar.

Yeah, it's a pain but you have to move the passenger side seatbelt buckle so it's resting on the side bolster rather than hanging free otherwise it rattles.

I do have the same issue and it's so annoying! I tried having the dealer fix it but no luck!

My passenger seat rubs against the center console if it is in a certain position.
I have moved my seat slightly, or inflated the side bolsters to increase the clearance to the console.

No seat rattle but I have a rattle only at certain speeds coming from behind my steering wheel in the steering column. When I've taken it in the last 2 times they haven't been able to replicate the noise which is annoying, as it only happens sometimes and over very bumpy roads at probably 50+mph... any ideas?
