Just picked the car up from the Saab Service. They heard the noise on
test drive. Felt it was coming from somewhere between the front seats,
maybe seat belt buckles? Couldn't isolate it....they "needed more time"
but didn't have the time to offer them so not been fixed. Hoping them
fiddling around in that area fixed it....? Will monitor it further.
