Overtrail Cabin Rattle

[chesh3]

Anyone else have a loud and obvious rattle coming from somewhere in the rear of the vehicle when you hit smallish bumps? It’s driving me crazy to find out where it is coming from. I thought it was the seatbelt anchors but have ruled that out as I placed dampeners on those and still getting it. Sounds like the rear seat area but can’t pinpoint it.

Have you checked if your spare tire underneath the vehicle is properly secured?

Well I think I solved the mystery. It was the seatbelt anchors. I flipped these upside down as temporary fix. I had put some paper behind them when trouble shooting but appears they can rattle even with paper wedged behind them.

Anyone else have this issue?

Not exactly sure what you mean by seatbelt anchors. Can you post a pic?

I’ve noticed the rattling, but discovered it’s only without rear passengers. I think it’s the seats vibrating at low speeds over small road imperfections. Not sure what to do about it but relieved it’s not the rear hatch.

I also have a very annoying metal tick noise coming from the passenger side right above or near the 2nd row pillar or ceiling. Only certain bumps but its a tick sound like something hitting the metal on a bumb. I'm about to try to see if I can take the middle pillar trim off and have the wife drive while I investigate further. I wonder if it could be a tork noise coming from roof rail or something. I hate noises like that. lol

I had that and it ended up being the Lexus first aid kit that was stuck on the back of the second row with velcro, and the zipper pull was tapping against the tonneau cover rail.

Unfortunately its not that. I removed my first aid kit while troubleshooting. Its in the ceiling right above or a foot back from 2nd row seats. It is getting better so maybe its settling down a bit. I'd like to get into the ceiling and check it out but that looks like a job.
