Squeaky drivers seat!

[cwfg]

Does anyone else suffer from a squeaky drivers seat? I can't quite make our what's causing it but I think it's coming from the lower bolster area, as if springs inside the seat are making a noise as I move about with the movement of the car. Could also be on the mechanism that links the lower and upper parts of the chair flexing but not sure.

Since it's an easy check, check the plastic side trim that partially covers the lower seat.

Some have reported that digs into the leather (mine did, I used a rubber edging trim to line it up and protect the leather) and sometimes that can cause squeaks. I doubt that's your issue, but since it's super easy to check, it doesn't hurt.

After a few days of not being able to find the cause, your suggestion prompted me to look more closely at the plastic side trim and sure enough the plastic trim was not actually properly fitted. Initial squeak sorted… now I have the leather against plastic squeak I think you’re referring to so I will try what you suggest. You killed two birds with one post there

Excellent! Glad that worked!
