Passenger Seat Rattles

[CanadaCraig]

Hi Guys!! :)

As the subject line says - my passenger seat rattles. Is there a typical 'fix' for this?!

Thanks,

Craig!! :)

Is it rattling because the leather of the seat is rubbing on the leather of the arm rest? Mine does that, and it drives me insane. Dealership installed a new passenger seat belt, and the seat shifted a little to the center. If the seat is actually loose, like it shifts maybe 1/8th inch when turning, then it's the tiny little plastic bushings in the track. Dealership says they don't sell just those bushings anymore, but rather the entire piece, at like $325 bucks.

It's good to know that I am not the only one who has spent time at the asylum because of this. ;) After a while, I'll open the upper console lid or shove some magazines b/n the seat and console to make it stop because I truly can't take it another second. I've always thought tha the cars that have little cloth inserts between the seat and console lid were cheap, but what a treat it would be to have that!

Craig, I'd start by checking for a loose bolt at one of the seat's 4 mounting points, seat belt, or something under the seat like the amp or a/c duct.
