Read evidence and context
Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.
0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.
Performed · outcome unconfirmed
This is because in RHD cars, some of the electronics are installed there.
Leading evidence: 'Install there' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Install there' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

The previous owner removed a small piece of the carpet under the passenger seat. Not much is gone, maybe a 1.5' X 1.5' foot square. I thought it was neat at first, being able to see the metal and a few exposed wires.
When you look under the seat, you can see there are two pieces of metal on top of each other, with periodic gaps between the two - like 1/4" high. I'm not sure what these were intended for, but I can tell you what the ended up being:
gopher holes where a pen and some change can hide and perpetually rattle around during breaking and acceleration.
I've tried to fish the items out, but I can't seem to get them.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get the demons out?

Plenty of suggestions...
5" hole saw from underneath the car
Expanding foam in the hole
Invert the car
Small, highly trained rodent
How about some strips of duct tape place in the hole. Wait till the rattle stops and extract the tape with items attached. Or, there is the high powered shop vac method.
Both sides of the carpet under the seats do not have carpet. This is because in RHD cars, some of the electronics are installed there.
I would suggest removing the seat, and digging around to find the loose stuff rolling around. It is probably stuck in the floor stiffener toward the front of the seat.
good luck with it. That stuff can be very annoying.

the list of stuff i pulled out from under my seats was staggaring. In one sitting i managed to remove no less than: 3 water bottles, a box of business cards i lost, my friends house keys (he must have dropped them in the previous season lol) and some other odds and sods (papers etc).
how's that for easy weight reduction
Those carpet holes under the seat were a shocker to me. Seems very low rent. Any chevy off the lot has been successfully engineered to have carpet under the seat with all of their electronics. I can show these great German engineers how to do it if they want.
I am sure those holes are a source of road noise too, but there's little chance you'll hear that road noise over all the regular road noise in this poorly isolated cabin.
