Rear Seatbelt Rattle

After you remove the B and C pillars, plus the rear seat cushion, you then need to remove the locking-pin for the rear seat-back. Then as you remove the trim panel obviously the speaker needs to be disconnected from wiring, but that is only if you remove the panel entirely.
The locking-pins just remove with a cordless drill / bit.

I've had the panel off before, and don't recall seeing that strap -- not even sure what it would be for honestly. Not referenced in the WMs either as being significant in any way when removing/installing. Interesting..... I'll have to do some research and see what I can find.... Does it have a plastic bit on it at the end there that is round, and fits into the hole-and-slot visible just above the window there in your picture? Perhaps that is what was rattling around if you didn't have to release to lower the panel?

Interesting follow-up - was looking at a parts diagram for the 991 and part #5 in the picture below lists as “spreader rivet”. It is DEFINITELY the rivet that anchors the orange strap to the C pillar. The strap itself isn’t shown but the rivet serves NO other purpose (it is inserted front to back as shown in the illustration and is situated such that it is shielded from contact with ANYTHING else but the strap) so I’m not sure why they would list it and NOT the strap.
