Thread: REAR SEAT RATTLES Fixable???????

    REAR SEAT RATTLES Fixable???????

    I notice that when I travel on roads and there is a imperfection on the road service, my rear seats rattle, it seems like the locking catch is not holding the seat back hard enough, I mean you can rattle the seat by pulling and pushing it a little bit.
    Is there anyway of tightening things up a bit.
    It would drive me crazy when driving on gravel

    Are you talking about the third row ones stored up back or the second row just rattling.

    My third row rattle and I ignore it but I took a quick look once and remember thinking that you could either jam a bit of foam in or bend the latches just a little to hold them in tighter when stored.

    There is a tech bulletin which covers fix to the 2nd row seats. It involved a collar with an off center hole and loctite. Bulletin 0039 from 1999.

    You wouldn't have a link for it? I couldn't find it in google.

    Squab or backrest?

    I had the same issue and fixed the squab by removing the black plastic conical bump stops on the underside and inserting 1 or 2 fender washers so that the catch takes up with less play.
    I'll try to remeber what I did for the backrests and post it tomorrow.

    This didn't work well enough on mine, but a block of sponge as already mentioned did the job well.

    I have given up on mine - the single seat rattles only when folded forward, tried rubber, foam, wedges jammed in everywhere. And it defies all my attempts to dismantle the covers and see inside.
