Rattle from back SRS compartment

Hi again Mitsuers,

I've been hearing this annoying rattle coming from the back in the car while driving without music turned on or whenever i shut a door. I've managed to localize it today, it's coming from the left SRS compartment near the left backseat. I can easily reproduce it by slightly tapping on that airbag location, a very annoying sharp rattle noise. This isn't the case on the right side.

My question....anyone else has the same problem? Any idea how to fix it? does removing the SRS cap to check what's going on under it put a risk of making the airbag explode?

Thanks for your kind thoughts

im not sure, but be careful. Take it to the dealer to be safe. Messin with the airbag can be dangerous.

I hear an annoying rattling coming from the back as well, but havent really been able to pinpoint it. Where exactly is your sound coming from? One of the pillar covers?

when you say rattling, is it a constant rattling sound or just clicks?

i keep on hearing clicks for about 5~10 minutes after i started driving.
