Well if those are on, another ting you can check is in the back in the seat compartment, unscrew the two nuts a little then push the seat up as far as possible and tighten them back down allowing less room for the flange to get in between there. I had rode my srx with the srx seat for many miles (now I am using a viper seat) and I have never had that problem. I will try to help you but like I said, that has never happened to me. Try what I told you and let me know what happens.
