Rattle coming from seat belt area in driver side?

[tahoe81]

Sometimes the lock mechanism rattles around. The only thing above there is the same seatbelt point the OP mentioned. Go to your rig and open the door and shake it. If no noise pull in the seat belt anchor. Anything above that is in the headliner.

Sorry for multiple replies on two different topics but when you say "shake it" you're referring to the part pictured in the OP? FWIW, I feel like I can duplicate the sound by pressing on the chrome piece that's inside the part pictured. There's a chrome loop which the seatbelt goes through in that opening and it kind of flexes back and forth and side to side to allow the seatbelt range of motion. If I press it, I can make it click a bit which sounds like the same noise I hear when I'm driving. If when I'm driving, I press that chrome piece down and hold it, the clicking seems to stop

They seem to want to do a little as possible and just hope it goes away on its own lol

You hit the nail on the head. My rig is older but it has a button at the base of the headrest supports that let you remove it entirely.

I'll check it out this evening. Thx!

I feel like I hear something over my shoulder/head up in the area, but I wonder if it's actually coming from higher up and farther back in the truck, like from the rear driver's-side door's internal trim/weatherstripping or something. I only hear it over bumpy road surfaces, but... I hear it. lol

Good question and I'm not sure. To be honest, I'm not entirely sure what the mechanism is to remove the headrest, but I'll check it out and report back. I know there's a button the side but that button just seems to lay it down. I have no idea if the dealer has tested this theory or not, but I assume they've not.

Hey guys. I have the same issue. 2024 Yukon XL SLT with luxury/premium package (ie moonroof too) but 2nd row bench. 6,500 miles.

Any luck with this? Like @KMelony I would describe the sound the same. I’ve pressed around the shoulder/seatbelt area and the liner above my head. The rattle seems to chatter more over bumpier roads.

Even though I don’t have captains chairs in 2nd row could still be the headrest issue.

My noise is definitely coming from the seat belt mount where the belt goes into the frame of the vehicle. There's a metallic piece in there which I can press and hold and the noise will go away but I've not been able to see anything which can be tightened. Mine seems to not be as pronounced or as consistent as it was, but it's still there.

Can you loosen the bolt and put a foam O-ring or a piece of padding between the two metal surfaces?

Possibly. I've not looked too closely to be fair, but it's not immediately obvious how I'd even access the bolt to loosen it. There's a plastic cover over it which doesn't look like it will pop off in any way to present the hardware under

Get a set of plastic trim removal tools. At Hobo Freight they’re about $10, or Amazon. Go slowly starting at the end and do a little at a time.
