Just curious if anyone else has this. This only happens SOMETIMES... when turning sharply, I hear a rolling rattly noise from the rear/side (driver's side). I moved around the belt but it still happens. It sounds as if there's something rolling inside the walls, but I can't be sure while I'm driving.. (hard to get in the back seat while driving...

)

I'm going to look some more, but any suggestions? I did a search here and found lots of other rattle issues, but couldn't find one like this.

Possibly something in the rear seat bin below the speaker rolling around?

I did look in there and it was empty.

Oh well, just a thought - hope you find it!

My Cooper which I've just had replaced did exactly the same thing. The dealer looked into it but couldn't get to the bottom of it either. I guess the next owner of my old car will notice the same problem!

It's not the rubber 'balls' on the parcel shef 'latch' thing that dangle down is it? They could be rattling when you turn.

Removing the parcel shelf would eliminate those from your investigation.
