I have the Hardback seats and my front drivers seat has just started to squeak this week. It's driving me mad. Does anyone know how to cure it?

Graham
 
Graham,

I guess it depends where it's from - I cured mine by applying some grease to the runners, and a little lubricating oil to the seat back hinges.

Cheers/John
 
Hi John

It seems to becoming from the springs in the seat, mainly the left hand side. So did you take the seat out to oil the springs?

Graham
 
Graham,

No, the seats stayed in. Just greasing the runners and lubing (is that even a word?!) the hinges on the seat sorted everything out for me.

If it's the springs in the seat base I suspect you can get at them with some grease eg put some between finger and thumb and put your arm in under the seat from the rear (if that does not make your eyes water!) - and work into each spring joint.

But actually it's easy to get the seats out so may be less effort just to undo the 6 bolts, unplug power, and tip the seat back so you can see under it.
 
I think you need rodent poison to get rid of the squeaks;-[:)],personally, I would use a silicon spray rather than anything greasy,I bought a normal sized spray bottle originally to lubricate the dagger blade on my windsurfing board and have found a veritable myriad uses for it since,such as window seals,door seals etc-anything where you want fluidity,squeaklessness without stains or dust retention.
Cheers,
Colin.

Thanks for the extra tips. Think I will undo the 6 bolts a tip the seat back when I get a spare 5 mins!! Least that way I will be able to see what I'm doing. Just hope it works. My drivers seat in my Vectra just started to squeak last night too, look like that one will be coming out soon too!!

Have you checked your trouser pockets?[:D][:D]
 
I have found a quick and easy way to stop the Squeak, just move the seat position very slightly and it's gone! Worked on my Vectra too.

Peace and quite!
