I bought a CX-5 Touring in October and the past couple of months I've notice a very clear click coming from the seat when I first sit in the car. I've also noticed the sound from the passenger seat when my wife gets in. There are no clicking sounds or rattles from either seat while driving, just the first time you sit down. "Hopping" in the sit does produce quieter clicking sounds, but it is definitely still there. My best guess is that it has to do with the springs or the wiring harness under the seat. Web and forum searches did not return anything. Has any else experienced this or have a suggestion on how to silence it? Thanks.
Driver and Passenger Seat Clicking

I have repaired that seat clicking noise on my cx5 . Each seat has 4 springs under its cushion, these springs have near their latch point some rubber, but this rubber is so thin and it gets ruined (after one week of driving new car) and then spring is making contact with metal construction of seat.
You have to remove these springs and put self adhesive insulation tape on that four contact point on each seat. Be careful, it is easy to remove these springs, but to put them back in front latch point is very hard.

I think that's exactly what's happening. The diagram is very helpful. Thanks! I'll definitely have to look into this.
