might help some with rattle

[skippy41]

Had my new to me octavia, a week and had an annoying rattle, thought it was the glovebox , but by holding the glovebox the rattle continued, found out it was the passenger seat raiser lowered handle , the front part of it was rattling against the seat plastic surround,

I've had to do similar on my drivers seat one, over a rough road it was rattling again the seat plastic. Just stuck on one of those round felt pads under it.

Took me a year probably to find out that those ~ 2000rpm rattle in any gear which most pointed to fuel lines, actually ended being up dashboard rattle. Not finally car is almost rattle free. Except for cheap 1.5L water bottle which rattles in the door

Where is this rattle? How did you solve it?

I notice that when I press plastic around hazards button / passenger air bag light in center console, the whole thing moves and produces some rattle. After sticking some rubber inside, the rattle stopped.

did you have to remove any dash to put rubber in?

No, I stuck some rubber left, right and above passenger air bag button, not below so it doesnt block hazard lights button.
