FYI, my R1T quickly developed a clicking type rattle over bumps, asphalt roads, and pretty much all the time on slight jitters. Started to drive me crazy.

Tech fixed it today while doing other stuff from delivery. He took the back seat out and finally through troubleshooting found that it was the seatbelt, where attached to frame of truck. Apparently he said some sand/dirt got in-between the attachment and frame during production and that allowed it to move/flex and get looser.

Super quiet now but thought I'd share in case in future helps someone else troubleshoot.

My R1T has developed an assortment of minor but noticeable rattles and noises that seem nearly impossible to pinpoint. Especially noticeable on rough, cracked pavement.

Same. One seems to be from the back seat area, but can't isolate it. Both B-pillars seem to have a small rattle that may be related to the seat belt height adjusters. They really only drive me nuts if I don't have music playing, but still annoying.

Were you ever able to get this fixed?

I now have both B-Pillars rattling around the seat belt area. It's inconsistent enough where putting a ticket in would probably be an exercise in frustration.

Ug my back rattles again even worse now, over any type of road when driving. It's like a constant clicking in the back.
