Default I got a brand new A4, and a BIG rattle (help!)

Just picked up my 1.8 today! I love it, but after driving for about 60 miles, I noticed a loud rattle coming from the rear driver's side door. Anyone else experience it? I'm planning to call the dealer tomorrow, but I thought I'd turn to you all for a little sympathy (and maybe some words of advice/encouragement). I HOPE and PRAY I didn't wind up with one of the "rattle-trap" A4s.

Default BIG rattles should be easy to fix, it's the little ones that move around and drive us **** folks...

Default Might be the driver seatbelt height adjuster.

Try moving it to another position or asking someone to put their hand on it while you hear the rattling.

Default Nope, definitely not coming from the B Pillar

Actually, I think it was the rear seat; the noise disappeared after I opened & closed it a few times. <fingers crossed>
