Carbon Bucket Seat mount loose and making noise

When i sit on the seat and move my body back and forth，i can hear the noise. I went to dealership to make a diagnose today, mechanic checked other two G8x(one is brand new) with carbon seats, all have the same noise. Anyone has same issue with the carbon bucket seat?

Johny this is a small price to pay to be able to set those sweet lap times to Applebee's.

I have this issue, but not nearly as bad. Sometimes it will feel loose when I first sit down and then it goes away. Might be the start of this issue.

It's great to be light. I'm 130 pounds. I don't feel any or hear any sound.

This is definitely not normal. May be classified as normal wear and tear after say about 5 years worth of use. But definitely not for a brand new G8X.
