Default F Sport Driver's seat lumbar clicking

Anyone elses lumbar pad click? It usually will click as I'm getting in or out or while normal driving around. It's weight dependent. Lumbar is extended 3/4 the way out. I will take it in to Lexus dealer at some point but it doesn't always happen. I'm guessing the lumbar pusher out thing is loose inside the seat. I'm sure Lexus would just replace the whole seat if they could replicate the problem. But hard to replicate! It's very minor but a bit annoying.

Good to know I'm not the only one. You also explained it 10x better than I did. that's what i was trying to say.. when i push back against the seat.. lol. I have a feeling Lexus will just take my car for a day and say "couldn't find the problem."

we'll see! I'll probably schedule an appointment soon.

same issue here. thought I was the only one. It doesn't happen often (pretty rare) and only when I push my back against the lumbar when i get out of the vehicle. I was going to go ask the dealer as well but figured I probably wouldn't be able to replicate the issue there regardless, so left it alone.

If you find out a reason to why it happens, let us know.
