Noisy Seat

I was wondering if anyone has had any problem with their drivers seat making a squicking noise when going over bumps or go around corners and your body weight shifts, i took it in they adjusted and lubricated the sliders but this has made the problem worse. Any ideas or comments.

Thank You,

Funny you ask. I have mine in for service right now due to that and a couple other things. The dealer said that they were going to check for loose bolts, apply lube, etc. The noises were loudest during turns.

Thank You,
Good catch! The longer of my two benches in the middle row (behind the driver's seat) squeaks a bit when you get on top of it or move while you're on it (say, putting in or taking out the tannau cover bar - what is that thing called again?) Now when I go in for my next service I can mention this and that there probably is a solution!

You are right. Same here. If I remove that Cover, squeek is gone.
However, I want it stay put

Me, I'm talking about the retractable cover that goes over the cargo area (covers the third row of seats when they're folded down). I'm not sure which one GLDriver's talking about - the one below the bench that covers the mechanism, or the same thing as me? I don't get a squeak with the cover installed or uninstalled, open or closed, but just from the seat when there's weight moving around on top of it.

Is all.

Oh ok mine is the drivers seat, My only concern is that it does it sporadically
and i wont be able to duplicate it at the dealership, sometimes i can even sway on it and it does it and other times nothing
