Seat rubbing against FWD - is this normal?

[ehftwelve]

Both of our 2nd row seats touch against the FWD when closed. This causes an annoying rubbing sound when turning or running over any bumps. Does anyone else have this problem?

Hi @ehftwelve ,

Welcome to TMC !!!
It is a wonderful source of information.

It always helps to mention the Year, Battery, and number of seats
so we are able to compare to known fixes...

My March 2018 Model X100D 7-seats had this problem
with the right passenger seat touching and rubbing the FWD.
As you mention it caused noises.

They repaired my car under service bulletin SB-19-13-001
It involved replacing 2 parts in the seat back:
Replace 1139116-00-A IM Back Panel
Replace 1086176-00-C ECU Mount Brkt
The seat no longer touches the FWD and no noises present.

I hope this fix will apply to your car.

Again, Welcome to TMC!!!

Shawn

@ShawnA Thanks! I'm sure that will make my life easier when working with the service center.

Just for reference, it's a 2017 100D 7 Seater. Both doors on both sides are rubbing against both FWD.
