Anyone have their passenger seat rattle after hitting slight bumps i the road.
I checked it, and it seems to be mounted tight. But I can see it shaking in the mirror, also hear it rattle

Is the Passenger Seat Belt- fully retracted?

If the seat is positioned just right, the buckle gets caught on the side of the seat and rattles against the pillar. I just reach over and reposition it, as I cannot seam to get the wife trained to do it when she gets out.:frown:

I put a piece of loop Velcro where the seat belt buckle contacts the pillar when retracted...

In the mirror? Front passenger seat or rear passenger seat?

I kept hearing a constant rattle from the passenger side after I got my 21 ranger, only to realize it was the seatbelt clip hitting the trim cause the belt was twisted.

Happens all the time. Likely happens on the drivers side too but you can't drive from the passenger seat so the belt is always fastened.

I'll check all of this out, but pretty sure everything is fine with the seat belt. Like I mention, when driving, at times I can see the top of the passenger side seat in the mirror, and you can see it shaking pretty good.

I've given up on training my wife for this. Same as I gave up on her slamming the door so hard I think she's trying to make the passenger door the driver door. Pick your battles or, as in my case, wave the white flag and accept that wives change husbands, not the other way around.

Corporate drone. Dilbert's world is alive & well.
I have a 2023, and I don't believe this is the issue
Mine is a ‘23 and it is most definitely an issue. Maybe not your issue, but it is an issue. Every single time I go somewhere alone after a previous trip with the warden I have to “fix” the seat belt. And I never think about it u til it rattles. And I do mean, EVERY SINGLE TIME.

As others have said, initially it took me a bit to figure it out. Rattles drive me nuts in a vehicle.
