    Rear seat rattle...

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I have a weird rattle in my back seat. I can replicate it when I go back there and bang on the seat a couple times. It seems to be the seat rattling against the trunk area. Anyone have a similar issue?

    Yes, I do as well. The seat that rattles is the driver side back seat that can flip down. I cannot seem to get rid of this rattle either...

    I think the sound is in the middle of the seat, not really where it clicks into place. Thanks though, Ill try that.

    For those of you who might find the rattle in rear seat, check if the seat is loose. I was able to lift my rear seat up alittle and i figured thats not normal and might (or does) cause some rattle. The fix to the problem was: pull out the rear seat (pull up as hard as you can) and bent the seat frame with your hands so that 2 locking pins lock nice and tight when you push the seat back down.

    credit goes to local dealer :)

    push the seat hard where the pins are to lock it in place. no gentle moves here :) make sure locking clips are not broken. as far as i understood, the seat frame is soft and sometimes it gets bent and pins cannot reach the locking clips. in my case the pins were loose and the frame needed be get bent back up, your case might be the opposite.
