Rattle from the back seat or door and shaking passenger seat

When ever I go over bumps or rough roads I can hear something making a sound if it's lose or something from the rear passenger door or seat. Sounds like plastic not sure. Also the passenger seat shakes constantly when no one is sitting on it. Weird, anyone else with similar problems?

If your seat is shaking, you have a vibration in either the tires or the driveline. I had the same issue, and a new set of tires and a rebalance made the seat stop vibratin.
