Seat Rattle Drives Me Mad

[B0oStEr]

The passenger seat in my r32 gtst rattles like crazy when I drive alone.

I used to notice it occasionally on bumps but since I put in firmer suspension it rattles nearly all the time.

If I push or pull the backrest quite firmly the noise nearly stops.

I had the seat out when I fitted my stereo and had a quick look for a reason for the noise but the seat appeared to be in good condition.

It's got to the point where I don't like to drive the car any distance unless someone sits in the seat.

Has anyone else had this rattle or better still sorted it?

it could be the rails when you put them put in were not aligned properly and the seat on one side is not latched in possibly...

I know when I removed and replaced the passnger seat in my 33 I had to do it again just it rattled, it turned out to the rail alignment...

if you sit in it and put some pressure on it to force it to slide back without using the lever I could hear the ratchet click into place and the seat wouldn't rattle until again someone need to get in the back or adjust the seat....

yeah loosen it up, get someone to sit in it so it settles, then tighten it all up

I have something similar... my passenger seatbelt rattles. The solution is to push it slightly down so that it wedges against the padding of the seat. (if driving alone)

Perhaps have a look at that while you're at it?
