What a shame. My front passenger seat is in near perfect condition, no rips, cuts, the stitching in perfect. However anytime someone sits in it it squeeks.....alot. Kinda sounds like my old bed sounded before the 3 kids came along. Anyway, what is the best course of action? It's driving me crazy. Thanks.

Excuses are crutches for the weak

If you pull down on the bottom edge of the upolstery you can remove it (just do the front and door side) then look under there to see what is squeaking. The upolstery fits into a channel at the bottom of the seat and it is easy to remove and put back.

LOL... mine does the same thing... but oddly enough, only when the Wife sits in it. Now... I don't gotta tell you that I am NOT going to even make a comment about it while she is in there...

I don't know if yours is the same, but two of my cars have done this.

Stick a napkin or something between the plastic trim near the seatbelt receptacle and the seat tex/leather and see if it stops. If so, I've had good luck with silicone lube wiped on and then off.

This was the problem with mine too. I sprayed it with 303 aerospace protectant and it stopped.
