I see you have a 2010, this is a 2009 problem.

I took the TSB to my dealer (along with the other one about the stuck hatch release button issue - they fixed that).

It says: APPLIED VIN/DATE: Vehicles built before JN1AZ44(**)9M 410159 / 26-Jun-2009

My VIN turned out to be a little higher than this limit :-( (have a red '09 base AT)

So I guess still no solution for me yet? And I believe the 2010's do not have this issue at all.

Are there other people with production dates after June 2009 with the still issue? :-(

I had the seat clicking in my 06 and Now the 10. It doesn't bother me. I rather have this then scratches from the dealer.

if anyone's still scratching their heads..i was able to fix this today without a new starwasher. i just pounded the stock ones in further. no popping noise, no movement.

it was making a little bit of noise when the car was new, but lately (after 3yrs) i could sort of almost feel the seat bottom shifting just a hair so decided to fix it.

check tsb on what part is involved. basically it tells you to get 2 new starwashers which are like $2+ each and where they go.

ck service manual on how to remove the seat and the dials. you can do the work inside the car so you wont have to undo the SRS harness (no need to unplug battery which is a good thing).

total time... probably 1hr tops including vacuuming and nourishing the plastics afterwards with Prima Nero.
