4.0 V6 D/Cab noisy back seat

[oxydog]

Hi,

It seems the back seats of my 4.0 V6 D/Cab (bought only last week) don't lock properly. The latches hook over the brackets but there is a gap so that, when I change gears, the seat moves and makes an irritating noise. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Regards,
Jarus

Factory fault with Toyota 05 / 06 models when they came out. Tahe it back to Toy and tel them to fix it

Thanx guys, especially like Steve's solution ;). Think I'll ask Toy to fix it for me like Mark suggested.

Fit some soft rubber buffers to the rear cab wall that keeps the seat under 'tension' when latched .... no more rattles.

There were some other suggestions here:

I tried the piece of hose over the eye as a first option ... over a few years I had to try different hoses ... rubbers, plastics and they all failed with opening and closing the seat. If you don't use the space behind the seat for things that you need to access regularly then it's an option, but if you're in there every other day, the hose over the eye doesn't last. That's why I eventually made and fitted my own silicone rubber buffers. These were on the "missing" Lux, and I didn,t take any pics, but I'm sure you can get the idea.

I had exactly the same problem. (2009 model DC) The best solution is to cut half of the catch off. (+- 40-45mm inner catch left) I will try to post some pics. Then either put some rubber hose around it or just some insulation tape (I went the insulation tape route- a lot) No more problems and the back seat can now open. There's a lot of extra space behind the back seat that was previously unavailable

Quick 'n easy. Do the cutting of the hooks. It opens up the rear for storage and easy replacement of the vibration damper tape when it goes again

Thanks guys, this helps a lot. Think I'll go for the insulation tape solution for now.

My error .... sorry!

Guys, I've decided to put some tape on for now, but I'm not sure how to remove the back rest - some help please!

Slaan die sitplek op. Haal die twee plastiek covers langs altwee kante van die sitplek af en draai die boude uit. Kry nog n paar hande en lug die rugleuning uit sy twee brackets teen die bak. Nou koop jy vir jou nog n yskas en sit hom vas op die vloer waar die sitplek vroeer gestaan het. Nou kan jy in die ry n koue drink uithaal en sonder die ekstra asems dit in stilte geniet.

Thanks Leon, ek maak so.

Weet nie wat my vrou gaan sê nie, want ek kan jou verseker jr. gaan voor sit. Gelukkig het ek 'n canopy, so die wind sal haar nie so baie pla nie.

Ek het ook dieselfde probleem gehad. Daai rubbers val af.

Ek het nuwe rubbers by toyota gekry, so R35, en dit weer opgesit.
Maar ek het ook dit met insulation tape gedraai. nou is hulle stil.

Corne, kan jy asb fotos post, want ek sal graag ook my sitplek wil laat oopmaak van bo.
Ek hoor dat LA Sport glo n kit verkoop wat jou toelaat om dit te doen...

Alec, Mark het ook van die LA Sport kit gepraat (per ongeluk by 'n ander Topic gepost: viewtopic.php?f=92&t=19486)

I had the same problem, tried wrapping the eyes in Duct Tape, taht didnt work so lekka cos it just ripped it up when the seat is in place.
I eventually used vice grips, grip the eye on the rear wall and bend it ever so slightly up, this causes a tighter fit when the seat is replaced and no more rattles. Worked for me

Dieselfde frustrasie - hou van idea om ruimte agter sitplek te kan gebruik. Vir skoonma .....

I phoned the guys at LA Sport Lynnwod Road - they don't know anything about such a kit?
