Rear seat latch in Amazon wagon

Rustinmotion · Oct 4th, 2021, 11:56

Anyone have a solution for a rattling rear seat back on the wagon?
Should the retractable pin have rubber around it ? Mine is just metal on metal with a lot of free play.
Photos of both the latch and gate would help

At the top of the seat latch pin and cup look as attached on mine. No rubber.

Have the seat out at present and there are rubbers on the lower locating pins which may play a part in damping any movement?

I cut 20mm off a 5/8 heater hose, split the ring and fit it over the seat pin, it now docks snug with no rattles and can’t be seen, might need to glue it in to stop it getting lost when seat is folded down

Not uncommon to wind a few turns of tape and/or a few layers of shrink sleeving around the pins but you could also glue in a small piece of rubber sheet into the cup to act as a cushion. Check the hinges for tightness. I will have to check for the rubber bushes shown but my seat doesn't rattle.
