Default Drivers seat noise

Wondering if anyone has had an issue with seat noise. A friend of mine bought a new 2014 Coupe. He has some issues with the drivers seat, while moving and in a turn , there is a clunking sound under or in the seat. The seat itself does not move but something in or under it is loose. He has had it in to the dealer 2 or 3 times and they cannot seem to fix it. They are telling him that the 14 seats he has are different from the newer 15 seats and if they replace it, it will not match. Any body have any ideas???

At the NCM 20th Anniversary Celebration, I talked with Barb Armbruster who is one of the Corvette team leaders. Asked her that specific question (what are the differences in the 2015 seats) and she said the only difference is that the 2015 seats are able to move further back approximately 1/4" of an inch. She added that there are no other differences.
