I know its slightly off topic but are there any pictures of them?? are they any good?? otherwise I might as well remove them to stick the seat as back as possible and use the black towel/t-shirt trick to account for noise and rubbing....

As for the belt, what I have done is securing the seatbelt on the lock. Then the seat looks like there is an invisible man sitting there.

To eliminate the seat belt rattle altogether and avoid the invisible man look all you need to do is "unhook it" from the passenger seat side clip and let it hang straight down from the back of the passenger seat.

The pull of the spring keeps it taught and it will not rattle again. When you do have passengers they just need to pull it forward rethread it in the side clip when getting in.

i don't have your problem cos the seat always in upright position
but the passenger back seat rattles because of a defective part !
i mean you can move the seat and feel how loose it is
i don't know how to fix it

Here's how you also fix the problem, you have to position the seat at a angle like if you were leaning back then slide the sent all the way back 'til it clicks in almost like jamming it in. The top of the seat should be right up again the plastic rollbar cover, it shouldn't be making any noise unless you pull up the seat again. I think for some reason the seat aren't made correctly around the joint, it's like the joint is loose or something. What do you guys think?

Try a little patch of furry velcro on the spot where it hits the door panel, worked for me.

You can try what S2ka is doing but that's if it's the belt that's making the rattles, mine was the seat. It was an easy fix for me, either way you go with you'll get that rattle out.

If its not the seat belt, just put the seat upright so it dosent touch the rear roll bar. Leave like an inch of room so it dosent bang into it.
