My truck had so many rattles by 1K miles I was convinced it had to be a feature. I’ve tore apart my doors and lined everything with anti vibration material and it works until I play music at 10 or above.

My dash rattles when I hit bumps so I’ll check underneath to see if it’s the same thing.

My back seat rattles on bumps too. Ive reseated the seats multiple times. I thought it maybe the plastic trim on the back window. But I don’t know. Quite annoying for the price of the truck. My 16 civic with 140K miles rattles less lol.

I've been getting the rear seat latch rattle too as it won't close all the way. It looks like the latch was installed at a slight angle? I removed the latch and screwed the bottom screw in a little tighter to try and compensate. The top screw is safely screwed in, but It at least latches now with force.
Mine are also crooked… did it fix the rattling

I also have a dash rattle. Comes from the passenger side near the upper glovebox.

I went nuts for weeks finding the rattle that was coming from the left side, kind of around the seat belt area…removed all panels to figure out and added absorber pads everywhere I found a gap between plastic panel etc…in the end I fixed it. It was/is the junction of the two plastic panels behind the seat belt. There are plastic clips that connect them, and one of this was not firm enough (bad mould likely)

Had it a week, 114 miles. Has a rattle under the truck when hitting much of a bump or going over railroad tracks.
I did find one source that I believe is it. The plastic cover under the gas tank.
For me the rattle was a stupid washer on the passenger seat, I tightened the heck out of the two front bolts on the bottom of the seat and it stopped instantly

I think you might have saved me. I've been dealing with a super annoying metallic rattle on the passenger side for months! It sounds like zipper pull rattling on a backpack. I've searched high and low with no success. I saw your post and decided to give all 4 bolts an extra 1/8th to 1/4 turn. The noise appears to be gone. THANK YOU

I can't tell what bolts you mentioned need tightened on the passanger seat, are these bolts under the plastic caps on the front of the seat rail?

Rattles I've noticed have been from the rear seat as everyone has mentioned but also the passenger seat belt tab when it's retracted will rattle against the plastic trim if it gets caught between the seat back and trim just right.

I've noticed a rattle in the suspension that has started up since I installed my leveling spacers on the front. I've retightened all the shock tower nuts, checked the sway bar end links (I was SURE that's what it was going to be), and tie rod and lower shock mount bolts, but they're all good. I can't pinpoint exactly if it's coming from the front or rear, but I think it's the front.
Did you ever figure the rattle out? I have the same with the same upgrades.

Yes - the four main seat bolts under the plastic caps. I don't know which one was the culprit as I tightened all 4, but the noise has not returned since I did this.
