Back seat latches rattle

I have a 2008 and had the same problem early on.

I decided to make my own fix instead of dealing with the dealer.

The problem is that the latch (on the seat) doesnt fully clasp on the metal clip on the car frame.

I used surgical tape (not sure if that is what its called). Its the white tape used to strap on gauze onto a wound. I chose this tape because it provides a cushion.

Anyways..i tapped around and around and around on the metal bar (half the clip) on which the latch clasps onto. When you put the seat back, you will notice that the latch fits more snugg because the tape takes up the slack.

I did it on both sides. I put my seats down when i move large things, and just let the tape be around the black clip....but when the seats are up, you dont even know they are there.

Problem solved. Hope this helps.
I have same issue..dealer not sympathetic at all..will try the tape..oh and also I wedge a shim under spare and that solved that rattle !
