2017 Explorer rattle in the passenger side pillar where seatbelt attaches.

[pjbaet]

We have a fairly consistent loud rattle coming from inside the pillar to the right of the front passenger seat - where the seatbelt is attached. Anyone else have this issue and how to fix? As things get colder it is more constant of course. Is there a history of something getting loose? Or breaking??
It drives me absolutely insane
Thanks

Could possibly be a loose wire harness or a connector.

Welcome to the Forum.
That would be the 'B' pillar. Have you tried sliding the adjustable part up/down to see if the rattle goes away?

Yes we have , it makes no difference in the sound unfortunately.

The member you replied to was last seen here on December 4, 2021, so likely is not here any longer.
Did your issue just begin or was it always there? The only issue I ever had was the locking part of the retracted knocking against the body moulding but that was easily fixed.
