Something Loose???

My new Turbo has a small rattle that is mostly prevalent on the freeway.It is right by the rear back passenger window or seatbelt area.It almost seems as something might be loose which is causing the rattle.Non-existent at low speeds.Any ideas where to look or what I can do.Nothing really to tighten back there so I am kind a lost.Thanks...

Check to make sure the fold down portion of the rear seat is fully latched.

Don't rack your head-take it to a dealer. Chances are you are not the only one with this and they will have seen this before. Could be a loose piece of metal, nut not really tight enough. They'll sort it out and make sure that it won't happen again, hopefully.

Have you had your bumper removed recently? If so, there is a screw that goes on the upper portion of the bumper (inside the inner fender liner) that might be loose. The clip that holds the screw might be a bit deformed and needs to be straigthened out.

Hi all, this is my first post, but thought I could jump in now and help. Have been a long time reader here by the way. I have had the same problem and it appeared to be a wiring harness that caused this rattle. Have the cover of the seat belt and cover right above the rear window removed and check for loose clamps. If everythink is OK, try to fit it with some kind of foam to make it tight. Hope that helps. Christian
