Hey guys,
Lately I've been noticing that my driver seat creaks and squeeks a little over bumps and when I step on the clutch, I was wondering if anyone else has experienced this who might have found a solution?

I had the same problem on both the passenger and driver's seat. I took it to one dealer, he said it cannot be fixed, its the leather rubbing together. I was like WTF ... 8,000km on the car and it screatches ... I took it to another dealer and they lubricated the rails, and the problem was gone. I have comfort seats with Nasca Leather. Take it to your dealer and complain.

I took a closer look again and it seems the noise may be coming from where the leather contacts the plastic at the bottom of the seat

Hey, try using some talcum powder. Although it's dry, it is actually a lubricant and works effectively. I had same problem on front driver seat and it worked a treat. Just rub it in a little
