Hi all,

 

I wonder if anyone else has a creaking or squeaky (but otherwise functionally sound) driver seat? This seat is height adjustable.

 

It happens when you change the amount of weight you put on the left rear of the seat base and the creak comes from the same area. This causes a creak to happen almost everytime I use the clutch pedal.

 

The rails and seat appear stable and there is no knocking noise or and seat adjustments work the way they are meant to. The seat belt seems okay too.

 

Thanks!

Are you sure it's not the back rest.

Yes, it happens when I sit forward without touching the back rest and just shift my weight from side to side.

Just had a look, well feel, and it feels like there's some plastic on the very bottom, cushion cradle perhaps, then ours has a front flap to the underseat compartment, that's also plastic, plastic squeaks and creaks sometimes.

 

We've never had this but for a time off and on the driver's seatbelt connector creaked or squeaked, can't remember which, but then it went away, I've no idea what the real cause was or why it started or stopped.  As it's my wife's car and she mostly drives I thought it was her seat or seatbelt position but then it done it a couple of times when I drove and I lower the seat and sometimes raise the seatbelt height so that was the end of that theory.

 

Thanks!

 

I'm hoping my brain won't get too bothered by it and just accepting that the interface between metal, plastic and foam will squeak at times.

 

 

Before long you'll forget about it.

 

 

 

Until someone reminds you by mentioning it. 😁
