Hey guys, another vague interior rattle post here [emoji23]
Got a w210, pretty solid beast. Last week or two a really annoying rattle has developed over bumps / grooves in the road. Only some surfaces. Sounds like it's coming from the passenger side. I found a bit of a loose trim where the seatbelt anchors into the seat and neatly glued that back, but it's still there! I've checked my glovebox, sunroof, rear headrests, I can't find it!!!
It's not like a high pitch squeak rattle but a low tone rattle. Anyone else had rattle interiors and found a way to fix? Upping the radio doesn't help [emoji23]

I have had a similar rattle in my Territory.
Turned out to be a seatbelt receptors. Try attaching all the seat belts when you drive next time.

Giles you legend. It sorted out the main rattle now I can hear another rattle [emoji23] how did you fix the receptor bit? I think the fact the seatbelt was pulled and clipped to stop moving helped, but how to do that long term (I could just leave the seatbelt clipped in lol)Giles wrote:I have had a similar rattle in my Territory.

Further update - found a bottle lid nestled beneath the seat and above the air vent to the rear floor... I'm not even ashamed as who I am as a person [emoji23]

So it's not the seatbelt perhaps as it's still there?? I don't know but it's almost worse [emoji23]
