Ive never taken out the seat on my RX350. But I did on my RX300.
I just moved the seat all the way backwards. And there were 2 bolts on the front rails. I took them out. And then moved the seat all the way forward. Removed the 2 back bolts. Then I just disconnected the plastic connector for the seat motor. Seat came right out. On a 300 the subwoofer is under the passenger seat.

Do you have a copy of the TSB?

I think you can do the TSB by yourself. If I remember right, it is a matter of cutting some bolts.

Had the same noise problem with my driver's seat and it was driving me nuts. Removing the seat is really simple, just follow KeysRx300's instructions. Once you have the seat removed or tilted backwards, you'll see a pin protuding at the front of the right track next to the bolt hole. I think the noise is caused by the tip of the pin making contact with the floor pan. It seems to be covered in plastic, which wears away and then the noise starts. Just cut that pin off near the base of the track. Touch it up with some paint so it doesn't rust and then reinstall. Noise problem solved. I ended up doing the passenger seat as well before it started making the same noise.

I had the same problem. Into the dealer two or three times. Dealer claims to never to hear the click.
I took them for a drive and there it was. They did the TSB and it didn't fix anything.
Finally - to resolve it - they loosened the bolts - and had someone sit in the seat - while they tightened down the bolts. No more clicking in over a year!!
