Rattling Noise From Inside Rear

[MarcelloCee]

Hi Guys,

Got a slight issue,

I'm getting some sort of internal rattling coming from the O/S/R seat/seat belt area. It happens when I drive over a bump..even a slight dip in the road and I hear it.

I have replaced the black bump stops on the boot ( as this was a noise I had couple of months ago ) but this new noise has started in the last 2/3 days.

I don't think it's a mechanical issue ( being a mechanic ) as I know the sound is coming from something in that area inside the car.

Can anyone advise on what I can check or what this could be? I checked the parcel shelf too incase that was loose but its fine.

Thanks

Marcello

Is it the seatbelt clip rattling against the side of the car, something that happens in our VW Touran ?
Easiest way to eliminate it would be to fasten both rear seatbelts, I suppose.

Anything in the rear "pockets" either side of the back seat?

Is the parcel shelf correctly engaged at the back?

I'd go with deagol- happened to me a couple of times, where i hadnt engaged the rear seat back properly, and on another occasion, the parcel shelf, sounded like a more severe problem, but that;s all it was. lately also discovered the spare wheel wasn't properly screwed into its base. the noise from anything like that is exaggerated due to the stiff shocks. hope its a simple fix.
