Default Cracking noise at rear seat latch

Who gets cracking sound at passenger side backseat latch? Noise is loud when it is cold and whenever the body has twisting motion(frame flexing).

My fix was to put foam between latch and seatbelt trim. Now noise is gone...

Audi has too many minor annoying problems.... luxury car at best....

every car I've ever bought, regardless of brand or country of origin has had some quirk(s).

That's a new one though… least it was an easy fix.

I think I've started having it since after the first time I folded the seat down. Where did you put the foam? Do you think this product will help?

So I put this a 1/4inch think white foam there and the noise stopped.
