Adjustable seat belt rattle

Is anyone else hearing the rattle from the adjustable portion of the seat belts on the B pillar? I have moved them all the way to the top and all the way to the bottom. The rattle/buzz goes away for a day or two, but comes right back.
Very annoying!

Do you mean more of a buzz than rattle? Or more of a ticking? Mine is intermittent and though sounds like it's coming from the seatbelt, it's probably coming from the B pillar, where steel pieces meet. It annoys the crap out of me.

Yep same thing happens in my GE. I usually just adjust it to a different level and it goes away for a while. Eventually it will come back and I have to re-adjust again lol. Kinda annoying, yes.

i've had an occasional rattle from the seat belt adjust area.... but the thing about the fit is that all the various rattles take a lot of days off.

the only one i actually directly got rid of was the weather seal rattle on the driver's door.

Yes, it is more of a buzz than a rattle. It does come and go like some others have mentioned. There are times where is it more bothersome than others and I hoped that someone would have come up with a way to make it stop.

I'll have to investigate more closely this weekend by having someone else drive and do a better job of pushing, pulling, etc to determine what part is actually the culprit. Maybe we can wedge something somewhere or tighten a part?

I would love if someone found a solution to this.
