    Anybody else having the passengers side carbon seat back rattling when driving? It's not the seatbelt latch rattling against the carbon - I can move that and the issue still happens. It's the actual seat back that has a tiny bit of play in it when there is no passenger.

    Looking to see if anybody has devised a fix. My experience is that dealerships aren't the best at solving rattles so I'd like to take a stab at it first myself.

    Move the seat forward. Possibly the seat is touching the rear area behind the seat.

    Unfortunately it's not touching anything. It's the seat back itself that wobbles a tiny bit and makes rattling noises.

    Mine rattles a small amount. It's the seat back. I've learned to tune it out and just focus on the driving.

    Anche io ho i sedili in carbonio sulla mia 296 Gtb e, capita anche a me la stessa cosa. Il sedile del passeggero fa un rumore metallico. L'ho portata al Concessionario per 2 volte, ma il problema non è stato risolto.

    My passenger seat does it intermittently and slightly. Can be annoying. But only if I focus on it.

    I have the same problem . I haven’t had time to troubleshoot it myself but the dealer tried and couldn’t improve. I used the method another member mentioned here : bought a medium small black colored pillow and shoved it behind the seat and it’s 98% gone

    I had the same issue, it came from the large round button for inclining the seat. Lot's of Mos2 Spray ... it's gone now.
