Does anybody have a fix for a loud buzz next to my left ear? It's the top seat belt adjustable anchor. It doesn't do it all the time, but it's really irritating! A good bash with my fist fixes it but it's distracting. Who needs moving, vibrating parts in this thing anyway? Maybe I'll just hot-glue it!

While we're on this rattle subject, what about the passenger seatbelt buckle that, when not in use, flails around and hits the door jam? I have to keep the thing buckled to stop it doiing that. The rear ones also. Maybe it's the G force.

I had an buzz last summer that I thought was coming from my passenger seat belt anchor. Turns out is was actually coming from the upper rear corner of the door. It was a small metal clip inside the door that making the noise. The dealer found the issue and placed the clip.

I'll look at that on the drivers door and see if it could be the cause. Thanks!

I know! This drives my crazy. It's nice to motor with the windows down, but the flapping drives me nuts
