Rattle from back set, anyone experienced the same?

I'm with you pesk, I hate rattles, my ED30 did the same thing, I tried the tape round the hoops for the rear seat, it didn't fix it, never found it before I crashed it

The rattle I thought was coming from the rear seats was actually the rear tailgate light. The brackets that hold it in place were broken and it's now held in place temporarily with sticky pads

What light are you referring to mate?

I have 2 rattles on my car.  one that has been there since day 1, which is the passenger seat mechanism, which only rattles when empty, can be cured if you fiddle with it enough.

second rattle is exactly the same as you describe, it sounds like the rear seat is loose and banging on something, very annoying!

have you tried to locate it?

Definitely some plastic rattling (no break lines) in back seat.
TOday passenger door started to rattle, I thought just my luck, but then it turned out to be a bottle of insect-remover fluid in the door pocket. 

But the rattle in the back, that is real. Real pain.

no I havent tried yet, but have tried clipping and unclipping the back seat, no luck.

Have you sorted this yet? I think in another post you had an idea and were going to test it. I have the same annoying rattle and everything I have read comes back to the rear seat lock but I haven't had time to tape mine up yet.

There's a rattle abatement thread on vwvortex http://forums.vwvortex.com/zerothread?id=2374154 which might help (just over half way down under Interior DIY

I have to drive over some rough roads first, and see if the rattles come back. I do it maybe tomorrow morning. It has nothing to do with the lock though. If it works, then it has everything to do with dust caps.

Mines (leather interior) was located to be the rear centre arm rest mech. Cured using silicone spray.

After that another rattle came from the plastic surround of the rear tail gate. Cured by strategic placement of rubber pads between the trim and painted portion of the tail gate.
