Having taken apart a few seats I have found that most of the squeaks come from the plastic pieces that attach, cover and surround the seatbelt latch and the seat back hinges.

Creak, creak creak ..... drives us all crazy! On a vacation drive one of the seat belt holders started up. Geesh! We pulled into the next auto parts store and the whole family started this funny mission of "get the squeak".

Short-term I have used a spray silicone with a tube to aim with. I will cover the surrounding areas with cloth to prevent over spray.

Long-term I either replace the pieces, generally not very expensive, and also use a bit of silicone paste when reassembling them. It not only reduces future squeaking but facilitates ease in attaching them.

These plastic pieces seem to loose their snap over the years and thus allow the movement and ultimately the squeaking. New pieces really clip on well and don't move hardly at all.
