Anyone has a clicking seat problem?
My drivers seat developed a "click" sound when I come to stop or speed up. I also can make it click by rocking back and forth. Can't feel any significant movement in a seat but the sound is quite annoying![smash](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/smashfreak.gif)
Dealership tells me the whole rail has to be replaced, hmm, let me think, $900 out of pocket or listen to the clicking![Roll Eyes (Sarcastic)](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif)
Anyone has experience with this?
It sounds to me that the clicking is coming from the back rest and not from the bottom of the seat.

I have squeaking, not clicking. Dealer tried to fix it under warranty a few times but the problem comes back. Now it's out of warranty, turn up the radio and it goes away.

Yep, that's it! I am a perfectionist atleast when it comes to my cars![crazy](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/crazy.gif)
And it does bug me quite a bit! Now I find miself listening to the radio alot lowder than I use to![Big Grin](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
I am contemplating taking apart the seat and figuring out what's clicking down there!

I had the same thing on a new E-Class a few years ago. The rails were replaced under warranty and that eliminated the clicking.
You have a 2005 model car. Isn't there a 4-year warranty on the car?

Got it on my 05 CDI with 64,000. Thanks for the post. I am under the extended warranty and I will have the rail replaced.

Squeaking passenger seat
Has anybody resolved this? My '05 CDI with 160,000 miles is super quiet EXCEPT for a light squeak in the passenger seat that goes away if I pull on the seat from the side (while driving). Not a deal breaker but if you found the solution, I'd love to hear it. Peter
