Default rattling right side

I own a 2003 A4 1.8T with a little more than 52K miles and I've noticed recently a rattle coming from the right side of the cabin. I think I can pinpoint it to the rear, near the door. It occurs whenever the car is moving. Any insight as to what may cause this?

Thanks.

Perhapsits inside the door. Might wanna take the door panel off and have a look.
Also check your rear headrests - sometimes they get sloppy.

Noit a clue. You will have to have someone in the car move around and try to pinpoint it more.

Make sure the little red tab behind the seat isn't popped up. If you see the tab the back seat isn't fully latched, latch the rear seat and try driving it again.

If you have subs, or install a sub, turn the bass way way up enough for the rattle to start. It should actually be easier to find.

We had a bad rattle in our back deck after installing our subs, and it was coming from the package tray. We stuffed it with our cargo net.
