Squeaky Drivers Seat

Post by Terzo333 » Tue Aug 05, 2008 7:26 am

I have bucket seats, and the drivers side has become very squeaky.

I have narrowed it down to the leg support closest to the door.

Car is under warranty, this shouldn't be happening, right ?

Only problem i've with mine was when I fed the leather. This caused the seat belt lock to squeak when rubbing against the bolster but was easily solved.

Mine was fixed under warranty, as was the arm rest.

Mev,

I put more felt type material on the inside of the belt lock (just like the stuff already on it but more!) and it seems to have done the trick.

p.s.

I that the Churchill quote - what a legend :D
