Noise From Drive Seat in brand new Lightweight Evo

[Marco_77_LightWeight_Evo]

Hi Everyone,
I hear a noise coming from the back of my drive seat, every time i make a roundabout or i change direction.
This happen even at low speed ( 30 / 40 km/h)
it seems something is moving inside the seat.
Does anybody have any suggestion / ideas ?
thakns in advance,
Marco

Sparco Evos don't have an "inside"
something is loose on or in bracket

Lightweight Evo Supra in the EU is the equivalent of the Final Edition we get in NA.

Is it touching the support bar behind the seat?

i checked and it doesn't touch.
i think something is moving underneath the seat or in the seat back. i feel noise and little short vibration with my body when lateral g is applied. going to show that problem to my dealer. guess it is a guarentee issue!

Check the tonneau cover? There are two small legs that fit into two grooves in the side trim panel. If it’s not snapped into place, you would hear some creaking sound behind you.

Have you managed to isolate the sound or solved the issue?

No One in Toyota could fix this problem.
But i noticed that changing seat Settings (in some position) make noise disappear.
So it is definitely a seat problem. Some leverage or some stuff inside the seat.
Try to investigate more.

Hope it gets fixed soon!
Sucks to have such issues on a new car.

They will have to replace the whole seat if it’s something inside the seat.
