    How to remove back panel of drivers seat??

    Since I got the 202, the drivers seat somewhere in the back side of it is making a CLUNK/KNOCK when I accelerating (even slightly) and the pressure from my back is being applied to it. Its getting to me and I had enough.

    By the side of it it sounds like a bolt thats not tightened all the way and then moves back and forth making the knock sound.

    Anyone have this issue? I want to see if I can open the back panel of the seat (facing rear seats) and see what I can do but I cant see where to open it?

    Yes, it sounds like I have similar issue. I was wondering if it was a power seat adjustment cable issue. I can usually get rid of it for a while if I move the adjustement too far in one direction (past the optimum point) then too far in the other direction and then back to where I want it.
