SUBJECT: 
Second Row Seat and Tailgate Rattles

Introduction

The purpose of this bulletin is to provide the repair procedure to eliminate rattles from the second row seat and/or tailgate. Keep in mind there are other
items that could cause rattles; jack assembly, wiring harness/connectors behind trim panels, sunroof drain hose, seat belts, etc. Road test the vehicle prior
to the repair to determine if the noise is coming from the second row seat or tailgate.
