Found/Fixed new hatch rattle

I've been rattle free since March, but with the cold weather coming on, I had this funny rattle (more like a tick) coming from the hatch area. I'll make this short.
With the cold, some play developed in how tight the rear seats sat against the stops. It allowed the rear seat to move just enough to make some noise.
I put some carpet padding where the rear seat should hit what is essentially the rear wheelwells. If you are looking at the rear seats folded about halfway down from the rear seat area, it's the lower left and right sides. I set it tight enough that it catches if you use a little force. The carpet is the same was what's already in the car so it looks great. I assume you could also just adjust the catches but I didn't want to unbolt anything if I didn't have to.
The car has been driving like a dream now for over a month. This seems like an obvious fix, but I wanted to post just in case anybody overlooked it. Best of luck!
Bill
