Rattle from seatbelt adjuster

[raaksy]

I've been getting a louder and more frequent rattle/vibration from the seatbelt height adjuster.

Anyone know what causes it and whether it can be cured?

What model and year MINI do you have?

it does help if we knew the history of the vehicle

£30 to fix a rattle in one area!? You wouldn't happen to know what they did would you? I've tried various fixes on mine but to no avail. They put felt tape on bits from factory but I think its the seporate piece which moves up and down that is the cause.

i think it was 30 quid all over the car mate. umm not really sure but it fixed it. but im getting noise now from the side bars next to the windscreen

The windscreen pillar bits? Yeh I'm getting cracks coming from them alot when going over bumps in the road. You can easily pop the plastic pieces off and pad it out. I find putting self-adhesive bandage on the clips does a good job as it stops the metal clips moving about.
