Default Fix for loose passenger seat back?

Anyone have a fix for the loose passenger seat back? When the seat is unoccupied, it rattles around shaking the seatbelt and driving me nuts. I took the seat out and looked at the joints where the back joins the bottom but couldn't figure out a way to fix it. That was a while ago, maybe I'll try again. I have also tried putting dynamat where the seat bolts to the floor hoping to dampen some of the rattle, that was a no go.

So, any ideas?

I've been wondering about this too. Drives me nuts as well. Subscribing in hopes that someone will answer.

My solution for now (hoping someone has done something), buckle the seatbelt, hahaha.

I tightened the torx bolt on the side for the seat back, and that helped a bit with some of the rattle.

I still have to look at the track to see where the other rattle is coming from.
