If its right by the rear seat, where the hatch is, then that would be the C pillar. Just remember the windshield is the A pillar, door is B, and rear hatch would be C.

I think I read on here it was the bearing to the seat belt.

Now that we got that cleared up... Any news from anyone who had this? I know there were atleast a handful of people that I read about...

still have it. i need to find time to take it to the dealer to hear it themselves. as for now i ride with the back seats down.

That's interesting... If it doesn't rattle with the rear seats down, then how could it be the seatbelt bering? Hmm... I might try putting some felt around the metal contacts back there and see if that makes a difference...

Rear passenger seat area rattle.

There are a couple possibilities: make sure the seat belt buckle isn't loose and knocking around; and make sure the seat back is locked in it's latch securely. Believe it or not the padded panel below the window might be flexing a bit and causing a sound too. I attacked the whole area with silicone spray (the kind that's safe for plastic and vinyl). Spray it on the following: in the the seat back latch mechanism and between the padded panel below the window and the body. Then buckle the seat belt to keep it from moving. Mine is nice and quiet now. While you'r at it, spray the dash vents (left, center front (top too around the edges) and right side.

Mike1947, where did you get the silicone spray? not sure I know what to buy.

Rattles/vibrations and silicone spray

I got the spray at an Orchard Supply Store (OSH). It is one that is specifically formulated to work with plastic and vinyl. Some of these rattles need a lot of effort to eliminate. Good Luck.
