Default Leather seat question for my fellow Canucks

Hey Folks just wondering if any other Canadian tC owners who have the leather option installed, do you find that the passenger seat rattles when driving? I have taken the seat out and tried tightening the seat to rail nuts and then tightened the seat bolts back decently tight and am still having rattle issues, any others have this problem?

i talked to the dealership about it and they told me that if enough people complain Scion will take notice and hopefully do something about it, if not when I eventually get rid of the car it will be the last Toyota product I ever buy

Yup same here with the leather seats.
But considering that the sunroof rattles the most when open.... I have come to accept that the car is just full of rattles and not very sound insulating... Which is ok for me. lol

I got rattles in my door, sunroof, passenger seat, and other weird locations... heck even my rear license plate rattle!

I stick some foam/weather stripping on everything that was rattling. Problem solved.

I have the leather, and yes, the passenger seat rattles when I drive. Drives me nuts. I find that if I position the seat further forward, it rattles less.
