Default seat rattle?

Do your passanger seat rattle over bumps/ It driving me nuts. I have it jamed against the back with a thick foam to keep it from ratteling. Any ideas? It is a 00 S.

Mine has a noise coming from the right side seat rail (you could grab the headrest and move the seat back and forth to duplicate the sound), I shot the seat rail it with a squirt of WD-40 and have never heard it since.

I found my passenger seat belt buckle (the metal and plastic part on the actual belt) rattles against the door when i don't have a passenger, But i live on a bumpy dirt road so im curious if anyone else even has that issue.

Mine is like this also. I just buckle the pass seat belt when no one is in it.

yes, it's normal for the passenger seat to rattle when there's no weight on it.

Well, yeah. I just slid mine forward a click so it no longer makes contact and rattles against the back.

If I know it's been moved, I'll usually just thump it with my fist before leaving, if it makes that rattle, I slide it forward a notch or two. Presto! It's far enough away now to not rattle.

I fasten the seat belt and then pull the shoulder strap all the way out so that it activates the child seat lock. Then pull it tight and feed as much into the receiver as possible. This stops both the buckle and the seat rattle.

Mine was rattling when it was completely pushed back so I move it up two clicks and it stopped.
