Mystery noise is driving me nuts. There is definitely something small and metallic sliding around in

Default Mystery noise is driving me nuts. There is definitely something small and metallic sliding around in

the rear seat region. I've got half the interior removed looking for "it". Is it possible for a coin to have gotten itself beneath the steel shelf where the belts bolt into (under the rear seats)? Possibly the LR wheelwell? Fvck it; I'm getting a plasma cutter.

Check the spare tire well, I had some crap in there that sounded like it was under the back seat.

Fold down your rear seats and see if you hear noise better.

Default Son put a dime and a penny in my seat storage net. Slipped into the plastic bottom part and rolled

around(invisible). Took me about a week to figure it out... took the seatback off and shook them out, used a knife to pry the panel up slightly, $0.11 fell out on the garage floor and it was forever fixed.

Default 2nd...and then if it is not louder, I would check and see if there is anything in the AC vent that

exits under the front seat.

Default Hal, I think that's it! I tugged on the bottom of the seat back and heard some coin-ish jingling.

Planning to tear into it this weekend. And to think I was about to pull the motor! ;P
Thanks for the suggestion
