Squeaky Seats

About a week or two ago I started to notice that the left side bottom seat bolster (near my left hip) started squeaking fairly loudly when any pressure was applied to it. I pushed on the same part of all my other seats and there is no noise. This may sound minor but it's annoying for my seat to squeak every time I take a right turn.

Has anyone else noticed this on their car? I have a C300 with sport seats if that makes a difference. Am I being to picky if I bring this to the dealer's attention? I'm taking it in in a week to look at 4 other issues so I could just add this one to the list.

No problem on my c200 seats. The other half thinks they're too hard and are uncomfortable, but I like the seats being firm and supportive.

Interesting. I think I will bring it up to the dealer and see what they say.

My dealer used felt tape to eliminate the squeak. I haven't gotten my car back yet but it looks like hopefully there is an easy remedy for this.

I had my car in last week. Apparently they have to disassemble the seat and they don't have "the tool." They ordered from Germany and will fix when they fit the acoustic glass.

Apparently they've only tried this on one other vehicle and they broke the other seat!
