Default 2013 ALLROAD REAR CARGO SQUEAK --- FIXED!!!!!

After months of driving me crazy, two trips to the dealership -- I have finally found and fixed the noise that was making me crazy.

It was coming from the latch where the rear seats lock in with the seat backs up. I applied a small amount of the fuzzy part of Velcro around the post and put the seats back up. It locks into place without any force.

After several bumpy road test drives --- the noise is gone.

I would imagine some A4 Avant owners may be experiencing the same issue.

Thanks for the update.

It's remarkable how often is a seemingly 'little' thing that can really make a nuisance of itself when it comes to rattles/squeaks.

Interesting, it sounds very close to what I'm experiencing except I have more of a "creak". Any chance you can take a pic of the location and fix?
