Passenger Seat Rattle

[tacorancher]

I’ve got a very obvious rattle coming from inside the passenger seat - took me a while to figure it out as it would rattle while driving whenever I hit any road imperfections. If I tap on the lower back portion of the seat it makes a very obvious rattle that sounds like a loose component. If anyone knows what it is let me know please.

UPDATE: if you move out the lumbar support a little bit it fixes it.

Good to know, i just put seat covers over seat beacause my 185LB Pittbull takes up space, and he loves being in truck, lol i can leave truck wide open in warm weather nobody comes near truck, he will rip head off lol…..
Question , do you inflate the lumbar, ?, just wondering…i guess pulling him front seat may answer my question…..my 4 runner had a noise like you mention, after countless things i pulled seat out and re tightened the whole damn seat and never heard another thing, pissed me off because i chalked up to quality control, but i figured it out

All you do is inflate it up a tiny bit from the minimum setting and rattle just disappears
