My Passenger Seat is Possessed!

chillisunset · 8th March 2007, 18:05

I have just purchased a 2004 ZT-T 190+ and I have taken it on a few business trips over the last few days and overall I am very pleased with it's performance and comfort, however I have noticed a rattling from my passenger seat when I accelerate around 65-75mph. It's not a constant rattling, it only lasts for a few seconds but it is annoying!

Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks.

13/03/07 Thanks for the replies and suggestions but I am afraid that the problem persists but I have noticed that the rattling/vibrating seems to be isolated to the upper bolster part of the seat nearest the driver!

Hello chillisunset
Welcome to the club and the forum.
There are a few cables and connectors under the chairs have a look and see if one of those could be vibrating. I also find that if the seat belt is hanging down the wrong way round that can also vibrate against the seat back at certain engine speeds.
Both worth checking out to start with.
I'm sure there will be other suggestions arriving shortly.
