Driver's Seat Popping...
I've had my 8 for almost 2 months now and I just noticed a "shift popping" sound in my drivers seat. I originally though it was coming from under the dash. It only happened when I would get in the car and also during turns. No!, I'm not over weight, 170 5'7".
Anyway, I took it to the dealship and they swapped it out with a new one from another 8 on the lot.
Just courious if I'm going to have this problem again or if anyone else has had it.

Yes, my seat does this. If I distribute my weight a certain way against the seat back, it seems to pop in, then pop back out if I lean forward a bit. I'm also a relatively skinny person (5'11", 165 lbs). It's a bit annoying, but I'm not too concerned about it.

little different
Mine is more in the bottom mechanics. It's an adjusting popping sound. Almost a squeek. It made about 7-10 small pops when pressure is applied side to side. But fixed so I'm happy now.

thanks -- obviously I dont spend much time on here (too busy) - did search under seat popping
mine is more of something in the seatback that pops when I press on it with my back -- sounds like the tightening thing wont help me....totally expect a "could not duplicate" at the dealer although they're all heavier than I.

I just had my cloth seats replaced with leather a couple of weeks ago. Today as I was pushing my back deep into the seat (trying to put something in my front pants pocket) I noticed a popping sound. I thought maybe I had broken something on the seat but could not find any problem.
