I cannot confirm a correlation between the weather/temperature and how bad the rattle is as I've never noticed. I can say that I live in a fairly warm climate and the issue is there most of the time... it's just not as bad all the time. I am thinking it has more to do with some pieces that vibrate against each other and have read somewhere on here that the middle seatbelt latch (I'm assuming it's behind the seat) could be culprit that needs to also be padded. After reading my last sentence I guess we are thinking along similar lines... but no, it's regularly high 70's and sunny here this time of year so I don't think it's that. I wouldn't hold my breath either if I were you The weird thing is I asked the salesman if he heard that "rattle" when I was test driving it. I wrote it off as a once off oddity...Can you verify that you have the problem even after the car sits in direct sunlight for an hour or two? Thats literally the only thing that I can think of. I will test again in the morning when the car interior is still cold. I'm thinking the factory foam under the deck and the plastic has had a chance to soften and expand a bit, and its working as intended. But maybe when it's cold and the foam/plastic is hard and shrunk a bit, there is more room for a rattle to develop.
I hope the rattle doesn't come back but I won't hold my breath.
