Two noise issues - passenger seat belt and driver's seat

Post by immyj79 »

Hey,I have two issues with my Vibe that I was jsut curious to see if anyone else has noticed...1. There's a rattle in the passenger side seat belt retractor thingy. You know, the part that can adjust up and down. Anyone else have this noise?2. It seems my driver's seat is squeeking, especially over bumps and through dips. Also, if I adjust the seat height, it squeeks. ???Thanks.

A couple of people have had a ratle in the front seat belt retractor area, but I didn't see where anyone had pinpointed the cause, other than in http://forums.genvibe.com/zero...13037Quote, originally posted by Mr. Poopypants »Look at the device that the seatbelt rests on (right by your shoulder) there are 2 plastic pieces that snap together. Mine were not snapped together completely and this was making a slight rattling. Hopefully this helps someone.There are a couple of threads about the same problem, but no real solutions offered, search for post bodies on belt rattle and also for seat noise.Seems like those that have had the problem ran into trouble reproducing it for the dealer service folks.I don't remember/couldn't find anyone reporting a squeaky drivers seat before. Like the other noise, maybe the best option would be to take it in to the dealer to see if they can find something.Easy to say "take it in to the dealer", but that might be more trouble than it's worth sometimes. I have a dash rattle that I have been putting up with for ten months now because I can't afford to take a day off work to get the car into the shop for a a rattle fix. I better make the time soon though, I probably only have about two or three months left in the warranty, based on mileage anyway.
