Default Suggestions for a rattling passenger seat.

Hey guys, like the title says, my passenger seat vibrates a lot, at the hinge where back lays down. Is there any way to tighten this area up, or do I just need to crap some papers in there?

17 views and nobody knows if there's something I can do? Or did I hit the nose on the head with cramming something between the upper and lower sections of the seat?

i checked yesterday on my lunch break, and forgot to post. It looks like there is no way to mechanical tighten the seat. Only way woudl be to cram something somewhere to stop it from moving

I took mine out and tightened everything I could and took apart the upholstery to get to some of it. Don't recall the exact steps but you'll see exactly what to do once you get the seat out of the car and get the power button panel off the lower right hand side of the seat. No more rattles; I figure after 60K with LT's it rattles them loose. I did the driver side too.
