Passenger seat Rattle FIXED!!!

The rattle was driving me nut's, I was determined to figure it out, I did, at least in my case.
The nosie seemed to be coming from the spot where the seat belt is bolted to the bottom of the seat, guess what? It was, I took the little plastic cover off, and found a quarter and penny in there, removed the change, rattle is gone.

Keep looking and maybe you'll find the remote control and an old ham sandwich buried in there too.

What kind of coinage causes the "pulling to the right" problem?

Pulling to the right

That would likely be solved by removing the mini US National Mint factory located in the right portion of the steering rack.

My sofa had a similar rattle, so after reading your post, I removed the cushions and found $1.23 in coins, a few kernals of popcorn, and a pen. Guess what--no more rattle...

I'm not so lucky, mine is still rattling and I got no coins in the deal either.
