Multi Contour Seat creaking

Hi members,
I have been enjoying my 2019 CPO S450 for the past few months so far no big issues.
However, the multi-contour seats are kinda noisy when you adjust the seat it's like the leather rubbing noise?
It is apparent on both the driver and passenger.
Massage functions and active bolsters do work great and leather is in brand new condition.
Is it worth taking it to the dealer and have it fixed. I'm just worried that the fix wouldn't be that impressive and they take my seat apart and can cause the further issues.
Please advise.
Thanks

I had this issue on my 2015, I ended up using a ton of leather honey to solve the problem. If you lubricate the sections where the leather meets the plastic trim then you should be golden. Unless the noise is not the leather on plastic rubbing together.

My 2017 S63 had that issue. I just learned to live with it since it wasn't that obvious. When turning, the bolsters would inflate to support me during turns but it just wasn't that bad so I ignored the noise.

Too many german broads
Same issue on my 2015. Dealer kept applying felt tape in problem areas.
