my 96 limited has begun to rattle where the catch that holds the back seat in the upright position. is there any way to tighten it up so it doesnt move around? it moves enough to feel the play, and definately can hear it when i go on a less than perfect road (so almost all of them) the passenger side is worse than the drivers side, but the drivers side does it as well now. niether of them did it 8 k ago when i bought it. I used to fold the seats down alot, and left them down in the summer to carry wakeboards, but now i can fit them in without having to fold it down.
it is getting annoying, so can anyone help me?

sounds like the catch may be worn. replace it? what about some tape around it to reduce the rattling around?

i didnt think of using tape, i guess ill try that, so there is no way to adjust it? it is also really hard now to get to latch.

Try and moving around the catch for the latch. That's what I did.

Oh also I took a few small zip ties and zipped them around the catch. That helped too
