~~Rattling Noise On The Side of The Car~~
...for sometime now I've notice a slight rattling noise, sounds a bit like a lose screw between the 'pillar' or whatever that's called that divides the front half of the car with the back end. It's on both sides, just right around where the side airbag is at but a bit lower. Doesn't do it all the times but it when it does it kind of gets annoying. Anyone know or might have something similar occuring/occured to them??
As I said it just seems like a rattling noise like if some screw was just dancing inside somewhere.
Thanks

Don't want to insult you, but have you check the seatbelt buckkles ? That's what happens to my car. Everytime my wife uses it, the belt got tangled and bangs against the pillar. Also, check all the stored items in the car. They can make rattling sounds that I swear coming from some place else.

....can't be anything in regards to the seat belts because I always buckle up, it's just an instant thing I do. As far as anything stored in my trunk, it's nothing because that's what you'll find inside there, absolutely nothing.
it's the brackets i believe the seat belt is bolted on to.
some guys were talking about using another washer to get rid of the "gap" between the plate, bolt, and the seatbelt bracket itself.
i believe that that is what it is.
i know mine do that all the time. all i do is just turn the volume up lol

....interesting, never thought of that but it makes sense because the rattling is right around that general area but a bit more back and a bit lower from where the seat belt thing is at.
Any more suggestions what this might be? I want to know because when I take the car to the dealership to get the left headlight leveled correctly I want them to look into this as well.
