I don't have a sedan, but I had a crazy rattle in the back seat area. Turns out it was the storage compartment in the rear seat; my son would open it and leave it causing it to rattle. Once I close it, all is well again.

The A-pillar rattle is the worst though.

I haven't read up on that stuff, but Id suggest if you know its that maybe pop it off carefully and look whats going on behind it...Maybe wire came loose or plastic clip broke and is flying around in there. Then just fix or try to figure out whats going on.

You've posted about this before. Is the car under warranty? If yes, let the dealer fix the problem. If not and you don't want to start tearing into the car to find the problem, take it to a specialist. Maybe a good body shop.

I've got a rattle in the back seat area in my sedan also. It almost sounds as if something is under the rear seat, like a loose fastener that was dropped in there. Access to the fuel pump is there, I believe, and I know my car had the pump replaced before I purchased it.

Does anyone know how I can remove the rear seat cushion? Does it maybe just pop out with a good yank?

I really don't want to take mine in somewhere if it's a simple look under the seat. I'm out of warranty too, so I don't want to go to the dealer either. :-)
