    I had been noticing in my truck that just got 1000 miles on it, a vibration/rattling from the back passenger side when going over certain bumps. I just installed a gg rear seat delete, and the noise is gone. Removed the entire back seat and seat belts, no more noise.
    Funny.

    You think some of the seat bolts were loose?

    yeah, the belts rattle a bit too sometimes

    Not a chance. Mine was so stuck in that cubby under the seat, it was like they put itnin when thenpaint was still wet. I had to hit it w a hammer to lossen it to pull it out.

    And its right back in its place.

    The rear seat bottoms just rest on the "floor" under them, no latch or anything. Mine have made noise before.

    The seat belts rattle a little. I have a first aid kit behind the seat. I attribute my rattling to that. It drives me nuts to think about it beyond that.

    Anyone ever get rid of this rattle without removing the seat?
    It doesn't happen all the time but it is annoying.
    I'm pretty sure that it is the rear passenger seat bottom at the hinge pin, when I hold it and move it around it seems like the culprit.

    Obviously, your seats were haunted.
