Squeaky S-Line seats

[jakerade]

My drivers seat has an annoying squeak from the bottom side bolsters. Any one else having the same problems. Only solution is to turn the radio on!

Yep, mine too - I have the standard SE seats. I find that it squeeks from down beside the ratchet adjustment, and if you 'massage' the foam it helps..

When does it squeak? Just over bumpy roads? And what exactly causing the squeak? Is the seat rubbing against the center tunnel? (A photo with an arrow pinpointing the source would add a lot of clarity.)

[pauldoherty]

With mine it seems to be coming from the springs right at the edge (door side, RHD) of the seat. I actually find that mine becomes more noticable depending on the seat position (how much your throttle leg moves up and down)

mine started on the door side edge and now does it on the inside as well. If you move the bolster with your hand you can hear it squeak - crap!

will add to my list of complaints for the first service though this is so annoying it may get to see the dealer sooner

Wind noise from drivers door – could 2010 wing mirrors solve the problem?
All windows seals creak when damp
Clutch creaks occasionally
Driver’s seat creaks – left hand bottom bolster
Gear selection very notchy and creaks
Centre arm rest creaks
Can they recalibrate the hands free – I sound very distant to the people I am speaking to (eg turn the mic up)
Front wheel arch liners not sealed to engine bay

How many miles do you have?

I mus be lucky because my seats don't squeek (yet!) and I don't have any of the above problems! (Yet! Fingers crossed! )

About 10,000 on the clock though the windows squeaked from about 1000 miles.

All these noises come and go (presume with temperature and damp)

solved by jamming a cloth between the seat belt buckle and the seat - the noise comes from the buckle rubbing against the seat. Have now added a bit of stick on foam to the buckle to see if that cures it
