Passenger Seat Rattle

[g_chandler85]

My dad had the dealership repaint an entire truck cause they scratch a side horribly, but that was GMC and he just called the corporate office and had a 3 hour talk about how the staff is "incompetent and uneducated"

Damn I need your dad to have a little chat with my dealership! Hahaha

Does the passenger side handle have excessive give, if you move it up and down with your hand?

Ya, I'm not sure how to tighten them where they won't move though. They all do

I spoke to a mechanic at or dealership, and he cant advise unless he sees a vehicle, so the best i can do is attach a seat schematic to give you an idea what is going on inside with all the parts.

Alright thanks! I might break it down today and see if I can figure something out.

Who knows. If you end up with extra parts after you put it back together could solve the problem. Maybe the factory added extra parts to make noise.

Okay so I took it to the dealership yesterday and he didn't say much and kinda dodged my questions but said he ordered a piece for the seats frame.. I'm not sure if that means that when they were doing the leather swap they took a part off and never put it back on or what. It's supposed to come in in a few days so I'll try to get more answers when I go back up there.

this is the part the dealership ordered to fix the seat rattle. Hopefully this fixes it. Warranty covered it, now I just have to wait and see once it comes in.

Let us know what it does... I'm not sure if my seat is rattling or something in the door pocket or the glove box

Will do. Part is back ordered but I'm assuming it makes the back more rigid so it doesn't move too much and squeak against other metal.

Okay so I know that I'm a little late, but I finally got it fixed. Dealerships were a pain in the ass and were no help so I just now got around to fixing it myself. My rattle was coming from the handles on the back of the seat for the fold down table (stupid as hell imo). I took apart all of the plastic around the seat and found the pin. I simply cut a washer in half and wedged it behind the loose pin and ta-da. No more rattle. The little pin that is behind the spring is what is loose and it started to make a divot in the bracket which is why the rattling seems to get worse over time. Hopefully this helps

Could you be more detailed like exactly where and what pin for us pinheads?
