Rear seat rattles

gr4z · 07-18-2016, 01:31 PM

Hi

Is anyone else suffering from rear seat rattles? I have a F36 which has split rear folding seats. It seems the seats have slightly loose locking mechanism. If you fold the seats down I can't hear anything.

Anyone know if you can tighten the locking mechanism so the seats are gripped tighter?

Thanks

I had an issue that I thought was this. A bit of gorilla tape on the black latches seemed to sort it.

Thanks. I have some duct tape in the garage somewhere - will give it a go.

Some of the felt anti rattle tape (Amazon, eBay or the like) should fix that, but its worth chatting with your SA (especially if you car is under warranty), its probably a known problem and they will know exactly where to stick the tape for maximum effect, if indeed that is the solution.
