cloth seats noise on cornering
getting annoying sound under drivers seat (cloth) when turning corners fast - (left) (almost always) ..seat seems to be loose..
mazda reckon they would need to take seat out to fix problem.. i dont think i want some wet nosed apprentice taking my seat out and scratching my otherwise perfect interior...they can fix at 5000 k/m (i will get an oil change at that time ) however i dont think i can put up with it for that long
leather seats probably dont have this issue as they have a different mechanism i believe.
and for those who will respond with --should have got leather....sweat,shorts and leather seats don't mix unless your being kinky

Hey man.....I'm with you baby on the leather thing.....
Can't comment on a fix, Gomez's ride is still an XR8...
Save the cows (especially the rare and endangered Red/Black ones)
Save the Xenon pups with their big cute eyes,
Save the precious environment, no more mining for pop up headlight washers...!
Regards Gomez

I had the same problem with leather pack seat - have them speak to John Newell Mazda if you/they are not sure on how to fix it. They added some washers I think to secure the seat better - apparently it is a known problem with MX5s in the past also.
Good to hear you are pushing hard on the corners!

This is a known issue, and there is a service bulletin on this. They put some silastic onto some fixing points or something. I can't say I saw him take the whole seat out. I was standing right next to the car when they did it, but I was reading a training manual, so I didn't even notice. But I trust Robby, my RX-8 mechanic. If they don't like me standing there watching (learning), then they know I can take my business somewhere else.
The last time I had my SS serviced, I was refused to be allowed in to see the rooted clutch that was replaced under warranty. I have not been back since :p I voted with my feet![Wink](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/wink.gif)

OT: Hymee - when you book your car in do you specifically ask for Robby - or does he do all the RX-8's at Aspley? About to get mine serviced (doing 10k service at 7k - after 6 months time for an oil change as I do lots of short trips).
