Seat Noise
Hearing a click noise from the passenger front seat. It is not an electrical/fan sound. I only hear it when there is someone in the seat. I can stop the sound from happening if i put my forearm on the side of the seat and exert some pressure pushing towards the door. This has started recently and is getting on my nerves already. Any thoughts will be appreciated.

Yes, I know what it is. It's that black plastic to the left of the passenger seat, and it's the same plastic you have on the right of the drivers seat (if you have blk interior), around where the seat belt clicks in. Those pieces can rub over bumps. My dealer took some moleskin and put it between where the pieces meet and click together, or you could also probably use some thin velcro, the soft side only. Those plastic piece pull part and only snap together, but can creek with temp changes, etc. If you don't have any of that, you can pull the pieces apart slightly until they unlatch, and that will stop it too and would be small gap that you won't see anyway in that area.
