So there's a lot of posts on here of ppl saying their seat belts rattle. the passenger in particular.
I've had my 4s for a month now, and I've noticed no rattle from the passenger side at all.
I've need that the passenger side has a stop/clip to keep the buckle high, on a part of the belt where it's more taught... Closer to the top of the b pillar. It doesn't rattle.
However, the driver side does not have a clip! For the first block i may drive before putting seat belt on, i hear the rattle and it's pretty loud.

So my question to everyone is, do you have these clips on the belt...? Especially those that complained of a rattle. And which side are they on if not both?

I have been driving my Macan for a week and there is a clip on the belt of the passenger seat from the factory. The belt does not rattle against the door frame now. It is possible that the earlier cars that came from the factory did not have this clip on the belt. There is no clip on the driver's side. I ordered this via AliExpress. ;)

this is exactly what i'm wondering... or if it's model specific. which do you have?
and know that a clip stops the issue, it gives ppl more options than just buying the covers

Wow, thanks, @krissrock! I need to check this with my SA. The driver side stopper is abnormally lower than passenger side on my 4 too btw... I does not look quite right.

Still rattles providing clamp stopper raises up. Solved the rattles issue 100 percent no banging, etc.

The button stop on both the driver and passenger side is unusually low relative to the position on the ICE Macan.

I asked my SA for another OEM sliding clip for the driver side (like the one on the passenger side) to make it easier to reach the buckle when getting ready to drive.

I ended up buying another sliding clamp for the driver side just like the one on the passenger side from my local Porsche dealership . It was a little over $4.00 but well worth it even though I can’t believe the car wasn’t shipped with one on each side.. 🤷‍♂️

I noticed this on the first day of ownership - not so much the rattle, more so that it seemed more awkward to reach around and grab the buckle and I quickly noticed why. I wondered if it was just on my car too. Nope! For reasons unknown - it seems there’s one on the passenger side only 🤷‍♀️
