Default loose passenger seat

late last night i started to hear a rattle from the passenger seat....apparantly it has come loose just a tad...the seat, very slightly, moves side to side. It was dark and i didnt have time to mess with it last night....any quick tips on getting to the bolts to tighten them down...seems like there isnt much room to get under there?

btw its a 01' 1.8t...and i dont have power seats.

thanks guys

hmm. mine squeeks too when someone is sitting in it, maybe its loose too. mine has squeeked from day one(heh used that as bargining leverage) the back bolts should be easier to get to, but i haven't looked on an a4 so it might not be, but check there first.

mine only rattles when no one is sitting in it....my girl has the car right now so i cant take a look at it yet.
I also have a rattle inside the trunk...well its actually coming from the back driver's side tire well....i can acces this spot from the jack compartment....there's a circular hole and inside appears to be a sensor...for the airbags i'm guessing...whatever that piece is, it rattles, i've moved it a bit and it stopped for a while but has started again.

anyone else have this problem with rattling in that spot?

Keep in mind that it is normal for Audi seats to rock on there tracks. I don't know how severe yours is.

its not that severe...it does move more than the driver's seat though....to tell you the truth it doesnt bother me, my girlfriend is the one nagging me!

do you know what that part is in the trunk inside the fender above the tire well?

thanks for the info jestnomen.
