Noise Model 3 found and fixed

[4Mack]

I had this rattling noise when driving and it was hard to discover its source. I found that the seat belt loops were rattling on their connection screws. A simple o ring slipped over this did the trick. I also noticed some of the plastic clips holding the trim piece on the seat belt assembly were rubbing on metal and some simple rubber strips fixed this. The hardest part is getting the trim piece back on and I found that aligning the two outward-facing prongs at the top of the trim piece near the roof is the best.

Is this the intermittent noise over bad roads that seems to reverberate in to the drivers door panel or glass?

Where did you put the o ring? I dont see it.

I imagine just slip it over the head of the attaching bolt. They can stretch.

So the seatbelts are anchored in a PLASTIC holder???

That does seem kinda crazy.

Do you have any idea how strong modern “plastic” actually is, and what they use it for?
