Hmmm I have had no problem with my seats making sounds... Have you checked to make sure everything is locked op on the seats correctly. I had an 85 gti in highschool with the same seat locks and if I didn't make sure they were secure all the way I would get a rattling sound. Or was that my brain slaming against my inner skull on hard turns. I miss that car Mac.struts all around, so much fun. I hope some af that information helps I'll look around on mine more and see of there is anything else that may cause a rattle back there and let you know.

Rattling is kiling me. I have it too. I think its small japanese kid stuck back there and is wiggling free. Tell me if you find out what is making that noise.

if you can see any orange on the seat locks then it will rattle. i have never heard any rattles in my car from that area.

 

i have the rattle problem too...but i really dont kno what caused it..

first i thought it was cargo cover, then seatbelts...

 

All I know is that I already took it to the Dealer once for the seat rattle. And if they don't fix it in 3 more attempts. CA state law calls the car a lemon.. and I get a new xB!!!!!

 

Actually lemon law only applies to defects that are detrimental to the safe operation of the car. It doesn't apply to seat rattling.

my rear seats rattles to but only when they are down not when i put them up, and it sucks cuz i carry my mnt. bike in my car with the seats down all the time

 

Here's another thing you guys might want to check: lift up the spare tire cover and check to make sure the jack crank and other little tidbits down there are securely snapped into place on their little brackets. Sometimes they can work their way loose and then rattle around when you drive over little bumps in the road... So make sure to check that out!!

 

I hear the same rattling noise. I can't figure out where its coming from. I barely noticed it, 500 miles ago. My car has about 3600 miles. That sucks and its annoying.

 

I in the car business and I have seen the lemon work wonders. Trust me it works. I have the 2 page .pdf printed out just in case the dealership wants to debate. I don't have it in front of me, but it's something like.... they have to fix in 4 tries, 12,000 miles or 1 year. and it has to be reported.


:D

 

i am also having this problem, but i had a 91 jetta and currently have a 83 GTi and a 79 rabbit, so i am kinda used to rattling noises among other noises. I just turn the radio up to drown the noises out. Thats my ghetto mechanics hard at work. :D w00t

 

I had a rattle problem in the rear also and what i found out that it wasnt the seat... It was that i didnt have the seat belts clipped.

Thats probally not it for you guys but, that fix my noise.

My back seat just started rattling too. Double checked everything: seat belts clipped, put the seat down and put it back up.
hmmmm, what to do.

check previous posts... but didn't someone have a rattle.. then they lifted the carpet and put down some double sided tape or something???

 

Theres a metal wire behind the back seat.... if you guys get some foam padding tape you can place it under the wire.... if you flip the seats down and pull off the 3 tabs that hold the fabric down to the seat backing you can fix it your self.

Inazuma wrote a well detailed description and added pictures to the rattling problem. this should be the solution.

 

Good looking out, i was just going to look for this thread. I hope they have all the little rattles out by the time the RS1 hits the dealers lots. To wait all this time, and get a rattle box, i hope not, although, that TSB was very informative.
