2015 Crew Cab Rear Seat rattle when folded

I am sure others have had this problem. I am also sure I have seen a post somewhere about it previously. So, I apologize if this is a duplicate post of some sort. I was unable to locate it in my search (perhaps I am using the wrong verbiage?).

 

Anyway, when the rear seat is folded up, I get what I consider horrible rattle/vibration noise from the back seats. Mostly from the passenger side back seat however, both make a noise. It only started at about the 3k mile mark or so. For the life of me I can't find what is causing it. I have taken everything out of the truck numerous times trying to figure it out. Best I can figure is something either came loose or broke behind the seat up where I can't see or reach maybe?

 

Anyone figure it out or have a solution or can point me to the post I swear I saw previously about this? I have yet to actually remove the seat as it is still under warranty. So, another thing to add to my list of items to get resolved. (listed below)

 

Thanks in advance,

I had the same problem and it's super annoying! you can stick a towel down behind the seat back in the meantime to stop it from flopping around.

 

There's a metal strip retainer thing on the back of the seat back that slides through a d-loop that's also metal attached to the cab when the seat bottom is put up and down. if the seat joint hardware gets loose the seat back gets loose and they hit each other. There's more play in the seat back when the seat bottom is up since it pulls the seat back away from the cab slightly.

 

I had them replace the seat joint hardware since the ones on the showroom floor don't move if they are up or down. They will also put plastic retainer/liner things on the d-loop part to buffer the metal on metal contact.

 

it's possible if you already had the plastic piece it just fell off but I don't think they figured that part out until later on, mine's a '14. It doesn't take long to unbolt and pull the seat if you want to see if it's back there first.

Thanks for the info, I have not found any spare pieces of plastic at all in my back seat or on the floor. I will keep a look out for it though if that is the case.

      Help purchasing a touch screen digitizer

      By mark249 · Posted

      Brought my 2015 Colorado into the dealership to check my touch screen issues, had that ghost touch thing happening. They said I needed a new touch screen and they could either order me one for $500. The lady at the service deck was nice enough to tell me I could order a touch screen online for less, she did stipulate that the touch screen had to be factory OEM, you can't pair an aftermarket screen to my radio seeing it was 2015, it had to be a GM factory OEM only. I found a few on Amazon and Ebay by the numbers on the back of the old screen, DJ080PA-01A GM# 22740886, Some said "OEM" in the description and others just said "Replacement". Would a replacement be the same as a OEM as long as it had the same numbers on the back of the screen? In some of the descriptions they also show different brand names but same numbers, is that an issue?

      I have both but typically use the 4 legged walker (wheels on front, ski's on back).   The four wheeler is starting to be used on "longer" outdoor walks.  The 4 legged walker is particularly helpful in practicing good walking posture.  Both of my knees are at different stages of recovery and I'm trying to not develop poor habits.  I can actually manage with a cane but it's very difficult not to favor one leg over the other.  My PT recommends I continue with my 4 legged walker for a while.  Yesterday was four weeks since my last knee replacement and I'm excited about my progress to date.  It has been a hell of a rough journey so far but it is exciting to witness  systematic and continuous improvement.  I went for years watching the decline of my "mobility".  It seems that everyday now I am alerting my wife to something I can do now that I couldn't a day or two ago!  I encourage anyone facing the prospect of knee replacement to share any concerns with others who have had the surgery.  It isn't an instant fix but rather is a considerable amount of short term pain for long term gain.  Recovery time and pain levels vary for individuals post surgery but the end results are typically very positive and I've never encountered anyone regretting having had the surgery.

      The lifter issue can be dealt with by shorter oil changes and quality oil IMO.

      Wiring Help, Please

      By Core-Lokt · Posted

      I'm putting in an A-pillar pod/gauges, and I'm asking if anybody can identify a (preferably) fuse for a switched power and illumination circuit on the driver's side interior fuse panel. Offhand, everything I checked with a test light was constant-hot, and I'd much rather uses a piggyback fuse. I can certainly find a wire, but I'd rather not half-tap.   Thanks in advance for any help.
