Right Passenger Rattle When 50mph plus speeds

[Braves12]

Hi, guys, I have had my stinger GT2 since August and within the past month, a noticeable rattle noise has been coming from the right passenger seat/door. Has anyone had any problems like this and if so what did you do to fix the problem?

I just went through this with the Honda, check under the car for those cladding covers… I swore it was in my roof, it was under the car

Seatbelt retractor has loosened up. The buckle is contacting the B pillar. (worth a look; at least one on here had that as the cause)

I buckle my (unoccupied) passenger seatbelt for that exact reason.

What Merlin said is likely your problem.

A piece of felt tape placed where the buckle rattles. At least that's the first thing that comes to mind. Mine hasn't started doing this yet.

I bought a rubber buckle guard , works like a charm , lots on amazon

What are the cladding covers, where are they located?

I now have an annoying rattle coming from the passenger seat itself. Not sure if it's the same issue you are experiencing (I dealt with the seatbelt issue after about two days of driving the car because that was such an obvious bad design)?

My rattle happens over every bump when the car is moving and can easily be replicated by just knocking the seat with your fist gently. It sounds like something metallic inside the seat. I have confirmed that it is not the head rest or its supports.

My first suspicion would be seat cooling-related, since I can't imagine what else would be inside the seat that was metal that wouldn't be fully surrounded by foam or other seat cushion materials.

Who are you replying to? The seat rattle I have that can be easily replicated when the car is not running has nothing to do with the outside of the car. The door pillar and grab handle are also known sources of rattles due to the seat belt and the way the grab handle is attached. And, the loose rocker cover is another separate problem.
