I thought I experienced the same rattle today on the passenger side, but it was just the passenger seat belt hitting the side door...

Mine does occationally. I noticed that if you put the seat all the way back the frame helps support the seat and stop the rattle.

No REVN S2K, you are not alone.

Mine passenger seat does it occasionally also. However, it is so infrequent I have yet to track down the location of the problem. I do know for a fact that mine has nothing to do with the seat belt because the passenger seat belt is always buckled in. Most of the time I'm in the car by myself but I have the belt clipped on the passenger side even though there is nobody in the seat.

Don't ask me why, I have just always done that, I don't know why. It does come in handy when you put something on the seat. With the belt there is does not fly forward and smash on the floor under hard braking.

To get rid of that rattle/shudder:

Sit in the passenger seat and tilt the back of the seat so it is vertical.
Slide the seat all the way back.
Slide the seat 1 "notch" forwards.
Recline the back all the way towards the roll bar.
Slide the seat 1 "notch" back.

If someone tries to adjust it - slap them.

See? Easy.

I've found its more likely to be the damn seatbelt rather than the seat.

If no ones in the seat I have the belt drawn and fastened.

Or my dad? haha

If you were 10 and highly active.

And I did check my seats last night, the passenger is fully back and when the belt is unclipped it rattles like a snake. Clipped it makes no noise.

Drivers seat is vertical and way up...no room to rattle.
