    I have a rattle where the seatbelt tensioner slides in the pillar beside the driver's seat. I've tried a few things, including insulation foam, to get rid of it but I can't seem to find it. Anyone else have this problem?

    I have:

    a. taken it to the dealer..they applied some felt tape and said it was "fixed". NOT!
    b. used silicone grease to lubricate the sliding mechanism
    c. Injected some foam insulation inside the pillar itself with no luck

    Help! This car is so quiet and the little rattle (almost a buzzing sound) is annoying.

    Yes, in my 2006, I just noticed it a few days ago. The sound comes right out of the tensioner hole...haven't tried to kill it yet, but I will do so soon!

    Please, make sure to update your profile to include your year and package...thanks!
