On mine if the arm rest (nearest the door) is in the up position on the passenger seat, it rattles. Not sure what seat configuration you have but worth noting.
Also, (not wishing to hijack this thread). My rear seats rattle if there is no-one sitting on them. I've taken them in and out a few times but has anyone else had this problem?
I found out the same. It was the screw for adjusting arm rest angle. Its loose when not ‘loaded’
Can it be tightened?
I found and diagnosed the exact same thing for the drivers armrest nearest the door. Put it up, the adjuster knob rattles like a so-and-so, put it down, quiet.
Bizzare.

Had the same VW replaced it under warranty
Nothing under the seat. Defo sounds like in behind the seat belt fixing.Might need to strip out plastics to have a look.
Thanks for the reply though.

I had the same. It was a missing spacer from where the seat belt is bolted to the pillar. Dealer fixed it in minutes. Take the tension off the belt and physically rattle it....is that the noise you hear? You might notice that the other belts have a black plastic cap on the bolt but the drivers doesn’t. It isn’t meant to for some reason.

Try tapping the tweeter speaker in the a pillar?
Mine rattled / knocked from there.
mine too!
It’s quite catchy when the killers are singing Mr Brightside...a nice extra beat!!
They’re just held on with fir tree clips. Get a trim tool in and lever them towards the centre of the van. You’ll need a 10mm spline bit to remove the seat belt fixings..
I've noticed that - does your passenger seat look like its on vibrate mode as well?
I got this fixed by dealer, found by fluke by me bored in traffic.
I've not noticed that. I'm in Florida at the moment but will have a look when I get back.
