passenger side rear seat belt area rattle...RESOLVED!!

Hi, so car arrived on Tuesday...love it. Filthy already Razz
But only done 150 miles in it and a loud annoying rattle has started. Back seat passenger side. Sounds like it might be in the pillar or roof? Don't think its the seat belt. It sounds like its behind that area.
Obviously can take it to get looked at but any one got any ideas?
Its now the only thing i can hear and driving me mad Twisted Evil

Just an idea Idea
Drop the rear seat back down flat and check that the black plastic cover plate (bottom of the C pillar by the wheel arch) is firmly clipped in - that could be rattling.
Also check that that side's rear load space large black side trim panel running from the tailgate to the wheel arch is actually fully fastened into its location. Our "super efficient local LR craftsmen" failed to relocate that trim panel properly, and broke some of the fasteners, when they were checking out the PDC ECU which is located behind that panel.

As with all rattles it may not be either of those at all Big Cry
Good hunting?

Mines an 07 model, but I get a rattle from a similar place on both sides. Try winding the window down just a fraction (as if to just take the pressure off) and mine goes. Then comes back after a 20-30kms or so and I wind it back up Smile 1st time FL2 owner. 2007 SE i6 in Tambora Flame.

So after having a look around LR Topix husband found out how to take off panel. Discovered electrical box panel which had been left unscrewed, screwed and no more rattle.

Also went on Jaguer Topix (he has a xk) found out how to take apart his glove box, where he has a rattle. Taped up loose wires tightened bolts, and fingers crossed his rattle will be gone too.

Saved me a trip to a service dept, and he's asked Jaguer twice to find his problem..... But this forum has put us on the right path... So cheers! Bow down
