Absolutely not. It's been on this ng recently. T set seats are not attached to
the side of the car very strongly, so the force of flipping a seat over (or
rather the force with which some people flip the seat over) is enough to rip
the seat out of the floor.

>From the kind of sound, and the fact that it is during acceleration, its
probably fatigue of the general frame of the car (is it the 'chassis' or the
'frame' or the 'shell'?)
