I seem to have a rather annoying clinking metal sound coming from within the drivers Recaro seat.
It happens occasionally when driving at slow speeds, but its really noticeable moving the seat backward and forward. I could just leave it but stuff like this does my head in!

It sounds like a coin is stuck somewhere inside the seat and is clinking about on the left hand side (nearest the handbrake), for the life of me i cannot find where it is but after having found two pennies down the back of the plastic part where the leg adjustment pulls out im convinced its a coin.

Anyone ever disassembled parts of the plastic trim?

Failing that i may have to take the seat out and see if i can shake it out...i dont yet have small enough spanners to get in there though.

Its 4 bolts under the car and the sensor under the seat.
