Seat rattle

[Steviebtt]

Hi there. I've got something loose in the drivers seat. When I pull away it sounds like there are loose fittings in the bottom part of the seat clunking around. Well I think it's the seat !!! How do I get the plastic back off the seat to have a look around .? Is it clipped on with push fasteners ?
Regards
Steve

Have you got under seat storage? May have something in it. Afraid I have no idea how to take the seat apart.

No haven't got under seat storage but that's exactly what it sounds like. Gonna investigate it tomorrow.

It may sound stupid but the noise may be on stones in the undertray beneath the car, with recent flooding and rain debris can get in there.
Find somewhere dry and lie down beside the car then to can give the plastic under tray beneath the drivers seat a bang.
If it rattles similarly then its just some simple nuts to undo to lower the tray and remove the debris, this happened to me a while ago hence the idea.

To remove the back - Take hold of the seat back at the top and pull hard, (it is held with two spring clips). When you have released the top, lift the back upwards, (the bottom is held with two downward facing hooks,)

Ok so had a good look around today. No stones or debris knocking around the plastic under tray. All good in fact. Only thing I saw was a elastic strap that clips under the seat was off. Pretty sure it's not the culprit of my rattle but re attached it and have to see ?? Watch this space!!!

Ok then, lead the back off to no avail, still knocking. Seems o coming from middle of drivers seat around the back by the light..but hard to see anything down there. only happens in first gear when pulling away and when I stop the car.
So can I remove the seat or do I need to get diagnostics to turn airbags off.... So annoying

Hi, bit of a late reply but did you find a route cause for this issue?
