Seatbelt mechanism ticking sound
So, when I’m driving and I’m moving in my seat/movements to the seatbelt mechanism I hear a little ticking sound coming from the area where the seatbelt goes into the car pillar. Is this normal?
The sound resembles a fainter child safety seatbelt locking sound. Has anyone come across this issue in their 991.1? I have 2 years on the warranty, the car is just currently in storage. Any help would be great!

At any rate, esp as you are still under warranty -- when you get the car out of hibernation have the dealer take a look. Won't cost you more than your time I bet.....

Could be one of several things --- There is a bolt that could be loose and letting the metal assembly holding the belt to the frame "rattle" slightly. Also there is a clamp that should only be engaging under hard braking and potentially that is toggling which creates that sound. Lastly, check the plastic trim where the belt goes into the pillar. If you put your hand on it when you hear the sound and press, are you able to stop it? I had something similar and just needed an adjustment to get rid of the rattling. This was on my C4S few years ago.
