Default Backseats Rattle
Hey guys,
Does anyone has an issue about the backseats rattle everytime you drive over a bump or road potholes? Mine is doing that. Thanks.

If you are talking about 3rd row - yes, mine was squeaking. Fixed with UHMW tape.

No its not the 3rd row, its the middle seats the fold forward. If my kids are seating on it, there is no rattling and sounds very solid. Only if there are no one seating on it I can hear the rattles.

Nope..no noise from the 2nd row. I did get nasty squeaking and rattling from the folded 3rd row though....Got rid of the squeak - the rattle not so much.

If the seat backs are not fully locked in the upright position it's possible there may be a small amount of play in them causing the rattle.
