squesky driver side seat

dudesky · 01-26-2014, 08:49 AM

Hello friends!

Does anybody also having a squeaky seat? Apparently my driver side seat has been making this squeaky noise since a year ago and it is getting so annoying. Normal driving is fine but when car surges up and down it starts to squeaky again.

The problem is, I can't find where it is coming from!

I don't know if it is coming from inside of the seat or where seat gets attached to the rail?? It sounds exactly same as an old mattress that squeaks due to old springs inside.

Anyone having same problem?
Thanks!

yah, if its inside the seat i dont think you can fix it. see if your fasteners to the floor is loose or not. shoud be 36ft/lbs. if i remember correctly, i think it was either a 12mm or 14mm

ugh!!! all the fasteners are tightened! I believe it is from the inside of the seat...

because it is exactly the same squeaky sound from old mattresses... T^T I'm crying

I totally feel ya... Nothing is more annoying than this squeaky noise from the seat. One time it got so annoyed that I was jumping up and down hard as I can with my butt hoping it will stop the noise. no luck...

I've got the same problem. Not sure what part of the seat is squeaking.

Do you guys have touring seats too?

I have the base model seat. But I'm sure the structure/built inside of the seats are same, both base and touring model so we all going to have same squeaky noise

There was a service bulletin on these awhile ago. Did you use the search engine? It had the all of the information on it. I took my my car and had it fixed. Check it out with your dealer.

the service bulletin for the knocking noise during fast turns was already done... by me. it's not that. unless you know of one dedicated for squeaking noise, or boing noise caused by fatarse smog checker.

I have it, too. I think it's down near the adjusting knobs on the left side. if you pull up from the black plastic piece under the knobs, it will squeak 'on demand' hahaha. Probably something that can be handled with a little WD-40.
