Squeeky seats?
After 10000 miles (sept 02 build) the car went in for a two day shake down of all things wrong - including squeeky seats, both drivers and passengers.
The Service engineer identified that the leather was rubbing on plastic seat trim causing the noise, so he removed the plastic, filed it down, and now perfect - sounds very crude on my $60000 car but necessary and it worked.
For the record. also had the automatic door to the CD player fixed as it has been without power for 7 weeks - all power lost to the switches on the door; also lubricated pano roof as noisy; regassed aircon as noisy; new door seal on rear as kept coming off; replaced wipers for the 3rd time -
and when I picked the car up they had somehow messed up the adjustable steering wheel so it would not lock - went away for 3 days whilst they fixed it...............
Now all done and car good as new.

at 7500KM now, my driver's seat developed a squeak as if its rubbing somehting also. They had replaced the leather on my seat a couple of months ago due to the original one creasing prematurely. I wonder if they'll have to do the same here. Ill let you guys know when I take it to the 10000KM service. Otherwise, car is perfect
