Rattles

There seems to be several rattles coming from the back of the seat near the seat belt retractor and from the convertible. Anyone with this issue and who has a solution?

Cars will inherantly rattle to some degree. Some more than others. My GTR has a light rattle from the passenger side dash that I have written off due to the nature of the beast..stiff car, light wieght materials, hand made for the most part. Almost all supercars rattle. You should drive in a Ferrari or Mclaren sometime. Holy moly those things rattle...I had a horrible rattle from my roof that I pinpointed to be my flimsy garage door opener Lol. Check around and see if you left something around. If you can find the rattle, sometimes some felt tape works as this is even what the factories use.

My F355 was good. However, the top rattled when it was not lubricated. Normal. Never drove or even owned a McLaren before.

Soft tops will rattle. Nature of the beast. Lubrication helps a ton! However, the seatbelt rattle might be in need of tightening ? Or maybe some felt?

I am pretty sure I don't hear that rattle tbh. Surprisingly have had less rattles in this car than any other Benz. I have some sensitive ears as well too.

I had a 2014 Nissan GTR, it sounded like starting a diesel truck and the transmission sounded like it wanted to escape, it was all normal for that car. The GT-S is a library in comparison
