Default Rattling 2nd row headrests. I'm a "rattle freak"

and the rear headrests are the only part of my Q that rattle!

Has anyone found a fix to this (other than folding down the seats!)?

Default That whole back area rattles like crap ...

Mine rattles too and under certain conditions it's not just the seats but the door panels as well (the latter is temperature-dependent). I'm sure it's a simple fix but I never had time to take the car seats out and really hunt it down (and, of course, it never rattles discernibly when it's in for service).

... freakin' Arnold and his commie cohorts, if they actually cared about what the state gets for all those gazillions they "invest" in roads, I wouldn't have any rattle issue

WD40 works for about a week or so, but then you have to deal with the "oily" smell.

Default Same here...

It is the whole backrest of the 'single' second row seat and is related to the catch mechanism used for folding it down to get into the 3rd row. My dealer has investigated and says it's normal...it drives me crazy on the sh*t roads here in Ireland. Sounds like a design fault to me. If anyone works out a fix they will be extremely popular.

Default The potholes in Chicago make me want to drive with the seats folded

down. New vehicles shouldn't rattle!
