For any new owners that have put on a few miles while driving solo, did you guys happen to notice the passenger seat rattling at all? Mine has rattled from the beginning and I just wanted a second opinion before I brought it in for service.

Check that the seat belt isn't wedged between the seat and the door. I think mine rattled once because of that but since have not heard anything. I'd also try repositioning the seat, maybe there's something odd about the angle of the back hitting behind the seat that's causing it.

I had a squeek in the seat. I sprayed teflon lube on the back/side, it is gone.

There is a ******** the side of the seat you can route your seat belt through. That took care of the rattle for me.

Moved the seat, reclined it back a little more as well and routed the seat belt through the strap. Went on a test run (ran errands violently) problem solved. Teflon tomorrow as a preventative measure. Thank you everyone for all the help...

Jack, Sorry I do not know who owns that car. It's a long story, but I mostly know Motor City folks...
