Popping Sound In Seat Back - 2001 Rx300

[JETPILOT]

I have popping that sounds like loose spring or broken part in the drivers seat back. It is not in the seat bottom or the rails; it is easily reproduced simply by pushing back on the cushion between the shoulder blades [upper middle of rear cushion].

I would take the back off the seat for a look if only I knew how. I don't see and screws or covers to remove. Any ideas?

Simply grab the top part of the seatback and pull back. You'll see 2 white clips that snap over the seatback springs. Little tough to get them to come off. The bottom of the seatback has 2 tabs that slip onto the frame.

i have that same problem in my 05 rx330. what did you do? its very very very annoying as you are driving and you keep hearing the squeaking/popping sounds from the back. to get rid of it i just fold the seat down but in the long run people are going to sit in the back.

I have an 04-RX330 with the same sound comming from the seat back of the rear seat drivers side. It is anoying. I plan to have the dealer check it on next visit. I would never try to disasemble the seat myself.
