@Tester01 Yes, I also have this and the fix is very simple. The lower seat padding is making contact with the plastic of the chair. I put in a piece of foam between it, so the lower seat padding does not make contact anymore. Solved.

Recently I was messing with wiring in passenger door. After looking through wiring diagrams I found out that Audi A3 8V could have door lock button on them. I thought that Seat cannot be worse than Audi so I present to you modification nobody asked for 
I've used door handle from UK version and due to white illumination I had to swap electronic to Golf 7 button. What is funny is that this button was already coded in my car and it started working right after I've plugget it in!

Take it you mean between here?No, just push the lower bolster to the side and put some foam in between it. if I remember I will create a picture for it

Try putting a thin bit of cardboard that should help prove this is the solution.

is yours a prefacelift? As my facelift FR has those buttons already (along with auto lock when you start driving, unlock when you turn the engine off)
I know how it looks for you guys from UK, but the photo is from passenger side, not driver!
Now I have those buttons on both of the doors
Me neither, but I was looking through wiring diagrams and though "ahhh screw this, let's do it!"
Unfortunately not, but it is relatively ease to fabricate. 2 new wires from 32-pin connector, 1 wire tapped into ground wire and 1 wire tapped into button illumination wire - that's it.
Is there a need for more detailed instruction? If so then I could add something into Leon 3 resources for that one silly guy who will look at this and think "that's exactly what I needed!"
Nah you lost me at fabricate 
If it was just plug and play I might have done for giggles, but ive literally never needed the passenger to unlock their own door! Pretty cool you can get it working so easily* (*if you aren’t as thick as me) though

My understanding of primary function of auto lock is to stop people outside the car from entering the car’s cabin - e.g. to stop car jacking incidents. When auto lock has engaged, in the absence of the modification to fit the lock / unlock buttons to the front passenger door, it’s still possible for the front seat passenger to open their door from the inside just by pulling the interior door handle. Rear seat passengers can also open their doors from the inside, unless the child locks have been activated.Nah you lost me at fabricate
That's the only one case that I see in which this button might be quite handy: driver gets out of the car, passenger stays in and does not want anyone to enter the car so they could lock the car conveniently from their door. Some cars have button in the center console so that solves that particular problem.
Yes, my non-VAG car has the lock button on the dashboard below the infotainment screen and above the heating / ventilation controls.
