Did you check the mounting bracket that holds the CDC and tool box for loose or missing screws?

Default Mine is the rear passenger side seat belt tensioner.

It is rattling against the body divet that it resides in. Even tried some foam insulation in there, but it must have moved and the rattle reurned. I've noticed if I yank on the belt a couple times hard it goes away again for a bit.

Default Yes, that is good and tight. It sounds like a suspension rattle sometimes.........

and sometimes it sounds like it is coming from the trunk. Just can't track it down. The dealer didn't have much luck finding it either.
