Just found the cause, but don't know how to fix...

I just came back from a test drive, with the rear headrests removed. I also had padded the right rear seatbelt lock, as it also seemed like a potential source of the rattle.
During the test drive my noise came back unchanged. I reached back and pulled on the left part of the rear bench, and the noise disappeared. After returning, I examined the rear bench and it's hinges. It seems the hinges have some play...
It doesn't look like you could replace the hinges - they seem welded to the bench (the other part is hidden under the carpet). The bolts that connect the two pieces of the hinges can move about 1/8 of an inch side ways, and all have play in their holes. They don't look worn, though.
Any suggestions on how to fix this?
Thanks,
Jorg
