Passenger seat rattle!!!!!!!!

I just got my 03 E55 and notice a rattle in the passenger seat area, it is driving me nuts! I am close to encasing the entire seat in a solid block of cement. Has anyone had this problem?

Oh yes, I certainly do. Doesn't happen when someone is sitting in the car (which isn't very often for me). I feel like getting one of those dummys people used to use when they wanted to drive in the car pool lane -- maybe the weight or whatever would stop the rattle. Mine comes from around the headrest so maybe something can be tightened. I have a feeling that only us picky folks notice/care. But once you focus on it, the rattle can drive you crazy.

I lowered the seat to it's very lowest point, that really helps, almost completely gone. Play around with different settings.
