Hey All,
I just developed a rattle from the flimsy plastic driver's seat border at the bottom where the seat adjustment controls are.
Any experience with that and/or any fixes?
Thanks!

Not a rattle for me but the outer cover piece is loose and I'll need to get that fixed.

Take it off and apply some CCF to the back side of the panel. Get some cloth tape and apply a layer where any pins are. Pay particular attention to where the rattle is emanating. It will no longer rattle once it's treated.

Mine was replaced about a year ago after it broke. It's broken again and out of warranty. It seems Ford didn't redesign the part so no point in paying my $100 deductible only to have it break again. So I used black gaffer tape to keep it together.

Ok, thanks! I'll attend to that.
Pretty weak point in that price vehicle!
