Default Rattle in rear - coming from stored third row seats????

I have a 2006 GX 470 with 38K. I store the third-row seats up against the sides of the vehicle. I have noticed rattles and noises coming from those seats when I am on anything less than pristine road. Have any of you had the same problem, and if so how do you resolve it? Does the system that keeps those seats stored need to be replaced??? Thanks so much! SF

No problems with mine up or down, but generally I keep mine down.

Make sure when you hook the strap to the "oh s-h-i-t" handle that you pull it tight. Alternatively try removing the seat that rattles and reinstalling to make sure the latch is catching properly. Otherwise leave them down and put them up when you need to load up.

Check the seatbelt buckles. Make sure buckle and the seatbelt are hooked behind the holding tab.

I agree, also the metal hook/latch that the seat snaps into rattled in mine, I wraped a small piece of velcro around the latch and it solved the problem.

Good advice, Lexus seat belt sockets notorious for this
