Rear window rattle

I know there was a thread regarding this but i cant seem to find it, wasnt sure if it was in the Canadian section or US section.

I have a small rattle somewhere by the back window, you can hear it with no music playing. Does anyone know what is causing it and how did you solve it.

Thanks

probably something loose? doesnt seem hard to correct the problem; have someone sit in the back and drive around until the passenger is able to locate where the rattle is coming from. fix accordingly.

^ I have a feeling its those little plastic push clips they seem to come loose once in a while.

I think this maybe a common problem with lancers, ive seen a thread where people have used sound insulation to stick underneath the back shelf. Im trying to find where the spot is.

The base bounces the back cover against the window above and the metal under. At least that's what it did in mine. I took the damn thing off. Dynamatted it and now nice and quiet

Bump .

After looking like an idiot and crawling through my trunk, i found out the rattle is coming from my seat belts. The casing that holds the latch / belt part is rattleing from the inside. Im not sure how i could fix this with out taking the case apart (safety reasons).

Anyone have / had this problem? Anyone know how i could fix this?

Thanks for tip. Worked great. I found you have to pull really hard to get the white clips to pop out. After they pop out its really easy to remove.

For anyone else looking to do this i have some extra B-quiet left over if anyone wants. +- 15 square feet (Will double check), enough to do two rear ledges or maybe two rear doors. $25 i can ship it as well.

I'm not sure what B-quiet is first off. Second, is there anyway you could post pictures of where clips are &/or pics of how you installed to B-quiet? I'm not very car savvy but I'm willing to give it a try. Any YouTube vids out there that would be helpful? Thanks!
