Hello everyone! My 2016 XF has a metallic rattling noise coming from behind the right rear passenger seat, around the seatbelt assembly. Sounds like loose door lock but it’s not the door. I’ve removed pretty much everything inside the trunk and behind the seat but still can’t find the source and it drives me nuts.. Took a video yesterday - maybe someone can recognize the sound?? Thank you!!

 

Does the sound get louder when the window is down? Maybe it's coming from outside the passenger compartment.

 

Window doesn’t affect it, I’ve tried opening it but it just adds road noise..

 

Maybe a rear spring assembly. Early F-Types had a similar issue. I just left my F-Type alone. Check that forum for more detailed info.

 

Thanks everyone for your responses - after literally taking apart everything behind rear seats, I found the issue - the strut top mount was loose. I replaced it and the noise is finally gone!
