Fixing clunking rear seats in an Estate?
Discussion
Hey Guys,
The clunks and rattles are getting noisy enough to drive me up the wall on my 850R. In the rear of the car I have been getting booming clunks/bangs over bumps, which I thought where from the tail gate.
After pulling the tailgate apart, replacing the broken clips, and taping down anything that could rattle, I haven't soved much.
Now over bumps, I am noticed the rear seats shake over bumps - the hard suspension doesn't help here - and pretty sure this is the cause of my booming / rattle / clunking noise. But I can't see I can tighten much to sove the problem (haven't pulled the seats apart yet).
Has anyone had / solved this problem before?
Cheers,
Stuart

Yes, inside the backrest mechanism, you know the ones either side that unlatch when you drop it down, there are 2 rubber blocks that cushion against the body hooks. You can either renew them, or if they are not too far gone turn them 90 degrees for some temporary peace - I have found that doesn't work forever though.
