Default Passenger seat rattles during normal driving speed

Is there a way to fix this? I checked the bolts under the seat and nothing seemed loosened. It looks like the back part of the seat where you lean your back against vibrates against the roll hoop when I drive. How do you fix this? Thanks

^ use the adjuster to move the seat just enough so it doesn't hit the roll hoop. You can use the slider or the seat back adjuster.

Its normal, the suspension is tight so of course things are gonna shake. Scoot the seat up away from the roll hoop and it shouldn't make noise, but its still gonna shake.

Check the passenger side seat belt. The tab part rattles against the door if it isn't stowed away "just right".

First plug the seatbelt tab into the holder slot (up where the passenger's right shoulder would be).

Then stuff a road atlas into the seat pocket behind the passenger seat. Now slide the seat back until the seat pocket contacts the back. Recline the seat a couple notches--but not enough to hit the roll hoop. That should do it.
