I had that issue, and it turned out to be worn engine mounts.

I think using a very (VERY) low profile torx ratchet may help but I am unsure.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Dealership fixed it by taking it apart and putting some felt in there somewhere.
In my quest to create a cabin that only rumbles from the engine notes and drive line I have been trying to kill all rattles at first noise. One of the pesky blighters still has not be vanquished however. It is coming from the passenger seat and I think from the seat to seat track mounting frame. Amongst the sea of rattle threads on this site I can find none devoted to this issue.
The problem are 3-4 (each side) torx bolts that seem to have been fastened before the seat assembly was attached. I have had the seat out three times to no avail. I think using a very (VERY) low profile torx ratchet may help but I am unsure.
If you fold the seat forwards the noise goes away but the area shown below is a definite culprit. One possible idea would be a 0.003-5" shim in between but that may be tough.
Has anyone else had/solved this issue before?
Does the entire passenger seat vibrate back and forth while idling? I had that issue, and it turned out to be worn engine mounts. Somehow, the vibration manifested in the passenger seat. Just a thought.
Fair question but I just did the engine mounts and in my rattle killing quest I also fixed the sunroof rattle. Upon further investigation I think it might be coming from the hook that locks the seat back in position. I have no idea how to get to that.
Not a rattle but I had a squeak in the drivers seat. Dealership fixed it by taking it apart and putting some felt in there somewhere. Before that the passenger door rattled. Dealership found something loose in the door and tightened it up. Now I swear my whole dash �creaks�. Bearable, but annoying. I have never had any car that had so much extraneous sounds.
