Captain chairs rattle

Any else have issues with the 2nd row captains chains making an annoying rattling sound when hitting bumps in the road? The chairs wobble a lot but they are definitely attached to the floor correctly.

I've never heard any noise from mine. Sounds like some thing is wrong for sure.

Mine don't make noise (yet?), but I can see them vibrating vigorously in the rearview mirror.

Same here. Honestly bothers me a lot. Looks like they’re having a seizure. Are they all like this ?

Mine have been vibration since day 1. Only bothers me when I look at them in the rearview mirror.

Turns out it was the plastic cover that hides bolts that hold the chairs to the floor. I just removed them.

Any solution to the vibrating seats? I'm alomost tempted to adding bench seats in the back.

My right rear (second row) seat rattles
At first we thought it was the car seat
But no, it’s the actual seat
No rattling with the kids in the backseats

I took it too the dealer and they replaced the seat actuator under warrenty. The rattle has gone completely.
