I have a freakin rattle in the backseat on the drivers side. I have yet to pinpoint it. I’m thinking it’s in the headrest. It’s driving me crazy. Anyone else? I’ve only had her for a couple months and the rattle didn’t start till a couple weeks ago. If anyone has had this problem tell me how you resolved it. Thanks

Yep, seat belt, snap connection from bottom/front of seat to floor board not snapped in, back seat hooks rattling when plastic rattle protector breaks, falls off or was not installed at assembly.

Check the little plastic guard at the front of the bed on the bottom. Mine lost the plastic bolt or whatever and rattles.

Hello Joe,

We're sorry to hear you're experiencing this rattle. It sounds like you may be looking into this on your own. If you decide to head into the dealer, let me know as I'd be glad to help with that process.

The jack cover under the passenger seat likes to rattle and sound can travel up.
I’ve put some dynamat to thicken the connection points where it clicks to. Rattle went away.

Is the seatbelt stuck between the seat and the pillar? Mine gets in there and makes all kinds of racket sometimes when I have the windows down. My wife will almost always do that to the passenger seat as well, Im starting to think she does it because it drives me bonkers

When I first bought my truck the door panels rattled, the metal bracketing that hold the sunroof shade rattled and the adjustable seat height mounts rattled. Drove me bananas. Stripped the whole interior and laid dynamat on everything. Not sure any of those things are the source of your rattle, but they're places to look.

The child seat tether bracket is in the area you're thinking just behind the headrest. Wiggle the strap and see if it's just that simple. Held in with one bolt and metal on metal.

Best way to find the hard to find rattles is to have someone else drive your truck while you put your hand on Anything that could possibly move. I’ve had sounds that I swear were in the back and found them under the dash. Sounds can be very elusive
