You can either remove the pads and live with a little noise or what I do is cut a small piece of clear tape in the shape of the pad and apply it over the cushions. The glue from the tape and the tackiness of the pad will keep the tape in place but not allow the plate to stick anymore. Make sure you do this to the registration solenoid too while your in there.
