500E Seat Vibration

I'm finally getting aquainted with my new 500E and loving it! The car is totally amazing in every aspect from handling to POWER! The build quality is excellent as expected and the car is starting to get its new look back (4 Coats of Z5 Zaino and a complete interior detail)

Anyway I did notice something that doesn't bother me alot but would be great if there is a fix. The placement of the door midbass speakers is causing a resonating thud on the bottom side of the passenger seat cushion. I'm sure its caused by the air movement causing the leather to move. When I place my hands on the side of the bottom seat cushion the sound goes away but makes it kind of hard to drive when I do this!............Just Kidding

Does anyone have a simple fix for this problem. It would be great to listen to the music without the additional thump.

I also had another question. Do other 500E's have Premium Dynamat in their trunk? This has been installed under the spare tire and behind the carpet on each side of the trunk. I'm suspecting that one of the previous owners had this done but I'm not 100% sure.


Thanks for the help everyone.
