I hope your seats are made of gold for them to quote you a price like that. Or at least give you a 'happy ending' while they are at it...

Lol.. how come i'm not surprise that when I see a seat for $7000.
The day be4 i picked up my car, i found 3 scratches on that little triangle window glass on the back door, so I asked them to replace it. They said they will not replace it cuz that little triangle window glass cost $1000 CAD.... Since when a window glass cost that much???

It happened more when weather is cold. I am not sure if the noise came out from seat or it's one of the TSB regarding the Instrument Panel Rattle Noise (T-NV008-07-Instrument Panel Rattle Noise)

I took my car to the dealership today. Luckily, I could make the seat rattle by tapping it on the plastic trim just below the seatback pocket. The service manager heard it and then called the shop foreman over to look at it. The shop foreman looked under the seat with his flashlight and said it is a very easy fix. He is going to remove the side panel to get at the rattle and and some more insulation to the area. I will be able to pick it up tomorrow evening. I will let you know if this solves it.
