Two rattles fixed
Two rattles fixed
I heard a rattle from passenger seat when I hit bump, it was coming from headrest. So I put black tape on the top of the silver rod. (You will find the rattle if you hit passenger sit lightly, only if you hear rattle from the seat.)
Other rattle was coming from passenger seatbelt area. I also put yellow paper tape in the black circle area and pressed here and there.(I made tape to 3m type by rolling it.)
Now rattles are almost gone, but I hear rattle(buzz?) noise from rear deck almost every time I drive, I put sponge between window and deck and the noise was mostly gone but not all. I am going to take it to dealershop to fix that.

I fixed rattle what you are having with my yellow paper tape. It is not that sticky tape so I can move seatbelt up and down. Guess my yellow paper tape that is not so sticky is helping me alot.

I'm not familiar with this yellow sticky tape. However, don't use electrical tape, because you will have a squeak issue as it wears.
I use felt with adhesive on one side to fix BSR's. They sell it in various thicknesses.

Since I purchased what is supposed to be a luxury sedan (?) I will ask the dealership to provide a more scientific cure... if no result.. out comes the sticky tape

I come from a car manufacturing facility. We used these "less scientific cures" all the time.
