Rear passenger seat clunking noise

Anyone experience a clunking noise from the rear passenger seat? Seems to only happen when someone is seated there. When i try to reproduce it, it sounds like it's coming from the part of the seat attached to the metal u-latch at the top. The u-latch itself is not loose.

It's a minor issue but super annoying!

The seatbelt that is latched to the roof? Or, something under the hatch floor board where the spare tire is located? Or, the seatbelt buckle got tangled under the seat?

it's definitely coming from the latch which locks the seat in place. seems the seat wiggles just a tiny bit while locked in place.

I have that same problem. Still haven't figured out how to fix it. I would wrap it with a piece of tape, but I'm worries it'll release while someone is seated on there.

I'm having the same issue, just wondering if anyone has found a solution.

I tightened down the bolts holding the bracket (at the base of the seat) an 1/8th of a turn, but no effect.
The rod that runs through the bracket might be the cause as it moves a little while I rock the seat side to side.

Anyone else fix this?!?!?
