Knocking sound in rear SOLVED- rear seat latch

[tgmets31]

I just wanted to post this FYI in case anyone has the same issue. '24 Integra had a knocking sound coming from below or behind the rear seat at slow speeds over bumps starting after 1 year/22K miles. Brought it to dealership and they said it was the can of fix-a-flat rolling around in the trunk. That was obvious BS but it was a busy Saturday so I gave them a break and brought it back on a weekday. This time the tech rode in the back seat while I drove it around and he discovered it was the latch beneath the rear seat. They ordered a new one and it was fixed a few days later under warranty. Tech said he'd never seen an Integra with that issue, but I'm hoping this helps anyone else who might have it.

It was nothing visible that I could take a picture of. It was the latch underneath that connects the rear seat to... the rest of the car

Accidently posted before I finished... not exactly sure but as best I can understand, it was not the latch that folds the rear seat down but the one underneath the seat. It was causing the entire rear seat to wobble a bit, causing the knocking sound. Sorry if I'm not explaining it exactly right.
