Third row seat popping during mid-fold?
I have the electric folding third row seats. When they are about midway while folding down, each makes a loud popping noise. Perhaps this is by design but it sure sounds wrong to me. Anyone else have this pop, or discover that it is normal or by design? Doesn't inspire confidence or quality to me. Thanks.

It's definitely coming from the hingey part not the head rests. They are actually folded all the time as I've yet to carry folks in the back yet.
So I watched a few YouTube reviews and can hear the same pop....guess no one has commented yet among all those reviewers(?)

Third row popping sound during folding
Mine did the same thing. There is a plastic part glued to the bottom of the seat back cover. You can lift the cover off by pulling on it releasing it from the Velcro. That plastic piece of bent at all will catch when you put down the seat and make a popping sound as it rips off the backing.
The dealer wanted to glue it back in but instead we are waiting for the seat back repair part. It has been 6 months and no part yet.
I live with it by bending it straight and it doesn’t catch.
See attached pics.

Mine looks ok. The popping seems to come from below that flap, from the hinge mechanism. Really can't seem to see what that plastic piece even does. Weird.

My Lexus dealership put in a TAS case on the popping noise. Not sure if these ever get replies back from corporate but the service rep said other customers have asked about the noise too. He agreed it is not a "Lexus-like" sound. I'm glad I formally asked for a service check as if these seats fail sometime soon, at least I know, they know, it has been happening from day 1.
