Rattle/Loose plastic noise from the back seat when turning...?
Hey guys,
I recently noticed that when making a sharp turn, I can hear something loose from the backseat moving around. If I make two sharp left turns, I only hear it once since I assume the loose object settles on one side, but once I turn the other side, it moves back and makes the noise again.
I checked under both front seats and there were some pens and stuff that I removed, but the noise is still there. I also opened the backseats downwards so I can check anything between it and the trunk and I didn't see anything. The noise sounds more like it is coming from "under" the backseat, but I haven't been able to have someone drive me while I sit in the backseat to figure out where exactly it's coming from. This noise started happening after a dealer visit to repair the door handle bulb, but I moved the door pretty fast and didn't hear anything loose inside so I'm not sure if thats related. Has anyone had something similar and have an idea for a fix?

I had a similar noise and it ended up being the passengers front seat head rest. I swore it was coming from the back seat or rear door. Give the head rest a good thwap and see if its the noise you are hearing.
