2016 Audi A4 — driver seat clicks during left-right transitions — anyone dealt with this recently?

This started as a small annoyance and I finally decided to track it down. I can feel a small click through the seat base in corners. Mounting bolts appear tight and power functions work. How do you isolate rail play versus the frame or motor mechanism? I am in Seattle. Interested in real owner experience more than guesses.

Owner notes beat generic advice here. On the 2016 Audi A4 in Seattle, I'd fix the thing you'll notice every day before chasing spec-sheet extras. Then you'll know the next fork. On “driver seat clicks during left-right transitions —,” that was the fork that mattered for me. Learned this the expensive way on a previous car. Climate here is different, so treat that as a local data point. That's my plan before I call anyone.

Asking because it changes the advice: If it still isn't clear on the 2016 Audi A4, a specialist hour can be cheaper than another round of parts. That's where I'd start. Happy to compare notes if your setup is different. A day of patience here is cheaper than a wrong part. I'm keeping receipts and dates in one folder.
