Does anybody know where this noise is coming from?
For over a year now, every single time I accelerate from a stop, a metal on metal slide then click noise occurs under the drivers seat which appears to be coming from the track area of the left side (manual seats). I always thought it was that darn penny stuck under the track until one day I finally got it out and the noise still occurred. I’ve stuck everything you can imagine up, in, and under the track and nothing came out. Today I finally removed the entire seat out of the car. To my surprise when I would tilt the seat, NOTHING! I then stuck my hands under the carpet cut outs where the rail goes and nothing is there! Where the heck is the noise coming from? After reinstalling the seat, the noise still occurrs.
The noise is absolutely 100% in the cabin near the left seat rail. Sometimes you can even feel the little ping sound it makes vibrate through the seat. It’s also not coming from the door.
You can hear the noise occur at around **34 seconds** and again at **48 seconds** in this clip I just recorded.
Does anybody have a clue as to what the heck this sound is? It’s driving me nuts. Even the lightest accelerations cause it to click. I’m thinking when the dealer replaced my headliner a year ago, they dropped a screw and now it’s sitting in a small metal void just sliding up and down every time I accelerate. The question is, where is this void?
Any insight is appreciated. Been trying to solve this for a year. It drives me absolutely nuts having to hear it every time I accelerate.
