SEAT SQUEAK SOLVED!!!

I am so happy today because after two years of dealing with a loud and annoying seat squeak I have found the culprit! All without having to remove the seat itself. As I was pressing down on the bottom seat cushion I could hear the squeak coming from what I thought was a broken spring. With a little more investigation I noticed something. As I was continuing to press down on the seat, I pulled the seat lift lever slightly tilting the seat forward and the squeaking stopped. I looked down the side of the seat cushion and noticed two bolts connecting the upper seat to allow it to move forward. The bolts were bone dry! I lubed them up and BINGO! The squeaking stopped completely 😌 A simple fix to an annoying problem!

I love it when I am able to find that it is something simple like that!

I agree. It's nice to have a comfy quiet seat going over bumps now!

I too had this on my passenger seat. Only happened when heavier people sat in the seat. However this thread has just reminded me to check out those two bolts! Job for this morning.

I got squeaks on driver's seat on the very bottom left rear and only during certain turns. Quite hard to find out what is wrong due to the nature of conditions.

I started getting a squeak from the driver seat as the weather got cold so I had time today to take the seat out and inspect it. I traced the squeak to the parts left of the "saw teeth" rail and had to use a screwdriver to force them back tightly into their original spot. Then I added some grease and the squeak is gone!
