There's Something Loose back there !!

Ive had this funny rattle sound coming from somewhere in the back of the van for a while now. I would hear it when travelling over uneven road. I had replaced the rear speakers and have had the side panels off ever since ( not much left of the plastic tangs to hold them in place anyway - so I'll be making up new cards to match my vinyl door ones) I thought it was the speaker wire - taped them all up , still have the noise. It is definately coming from the drivers side. I check under the vehicle from stem to stern and everything seems tight. I get my son to sit in the back while I drive around to see if he can pinpoint it - can't hear it. I drive off and get around the corner and I hear it . Now I'm gettin a lil miffed, so I turn around and go back, pick up my son, get him to drive while I sit in the back. I went as far as reclining the captains chair and creeping back and forth on it with my ear to the side panels hoping to hear it -Nada. SO I figure it must be coming from behind the gate panel at the very back. I lay down on the floor, and I hear it. It's coming forward of the back end. So I get on my knees while holding on to the back of the captains seats. I listen, and listen........nothing. Screw it , I get out and get back in the drivers seat , my son gets into the passenger and off we go. DAMN NOISE again. So I get out get in the back and sit in the passenger chair and off we go.
Turns out its the drivers side captains chair with a bad wobble. Everytime you sat down in it , the chair wouldnt wobble. get off it and it would wobble. I just came in from a 10 minute fix .
