if you bug them enough they will fix it. If not then call corporate and have them deal with the dealer.

If you get it done, make sure you check the condition of the plastic cover that covers the seat rails. They cracked mine when they performed the TSIB.

Mine was fixed by retightenning of the rail bolts (the large ones). Losen then first before retighten them.

I've had this TSIB done on my 08... This is a very easy fix for the dealer.

I have an '08 IS250 and my seat was squeaking so I took it to my dealer and they put a brand new seat on no questions asked.

I had it done for my '07, and the squeak is back. I might have to point this out to the dealer.

Maybe you made the seat come loose again?
