A Smith Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 OK so it might just be bad luck but my 2020 focus hatchback has got a really annoying rattle at low speeds and I've worked out that it's the rear seat back latching mech. It seems to have a bit of play in it that allows the seat back to rattle a bit. It's doing my spud in and I just wondered if anyone else had been experiencing the same and sorted a fix. Ta, stressed of Derby. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morty1977 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 I folded some cardboard up over the metal bar thing on the back seat so when its shut back it's nice and tight 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michaelburrows Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 seems a funny thing for a car to experience but i also did. on passenger side of mk3 estate. same place .the locking mechanism. i wrapped a bit of kitchen roll round the bar and then pushed it hard into locking position. no problem since 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F0CUE Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Just wrap it with some duct tape it makes it tighter and more functional. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Smith Posted December 20, 2020 Author Share Posted December 20, 2020 It's sorted. I cut a short piece of bike inner tube and wrapped it around the bar, stapled and sprayed with silicone spray to stop any squeaking. Job done and thanks for all your replies 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
