+1 like for this!We were on are way home from a 3 hr road trip last week and my son sits in the rear seat all the time about 1 hr into the trip we started to hear a noise coming from the passenger side rear.
After about 5 min of that it got really annoying, so he started moving his hand around the plastic to the right of the seat if you where in the rear passenger side. With in a min or so he was able to stop the sound on command by placing some pressure on one spot on the panel.
Following day I removed that panel and found that there are some foam blocks on the inside of the plastic used to help support it so it does not collapse when someone pushes on it.
These blocks are held in with a sort of washer with teeth that grab a plastic post, that over time lossen up, allowing the block to vibrate and then squeak or rattle against the plastic and the metal of the body.
I removed both blocks and used some stick backed Velcro, just the soft fuzzy part and ran it across the block to keep the parts from touching and making any sound if they were to loosen up again.
All in all it took about 35 mins to pull out the panel remove the clips and blocks, apply the Velcro, put the blocks back and put the panel and the rear seat bottom back in.
Haven’t had a sound since,now I’m just waiting for the drivers side to start.
Hope this is the solution to your problem.
It sounds like it is coming from the same side. When I get some time, I'll take off my panel and see if it is the same issue.
First person I've heard to experience this rattle as well, so thank you very much for the tip!
