Default Easy. Take it to the dealer and have them lube the hell out of it.

worked for me.

Default Did you try folding and reclosing the seat back? Sometimes it doesn't latch fully (m)

The red indicator tab should not be visible, if it's fully closed. Try slamming it (it won't break .

Default I've had the same rattle for 3 months this winter. I was told the plastic may have shifted from ..

the extremely cold winter we had in Toronto. Funny I didn't know I was driving a KIA.

Default after 14 visits this year to the dealer I have absolutely no confidence in them. I'ts gone ....

for now but reapeers occasionally. They had to take my drivers door apart and I insisted they put it back right (the first time they had to replace the motor on the window and completely ****ed up my door panel - 3 tries and it was still not right) so even after I told them this time they screwed it up once again (twice!).
The moral to this story is stay away from busy dealers. We have 4 or 5 dealers in the Toronto area and mine's the busiest which is not a good thing. Service is about as bad as can be. Not even a thank you.
