Anyone have this issue with the seat making a noise that sounds like the leather is rubbing against something while making a turn. Mine only happens when I make a right turn.

yeah. i try to make left turns only.

kidding. can't see how the leather can be affected by making a right turn...

- might be your clothes?
- squeaky steering wheel?
- possessed, thinks-it-should-be-right-hand-driven car?

sorry mate, couldn't resist. hope you can get it sorted out.

had the same problem. found that spraying (WD40) the metal parts where the seat bottom and seat back meet (door end sides), the squeek finally was gone.

I have this issue ever since. It is my drivers back support part of the seat..... If I sit up - my back do not touch the seat - the noise is gone.
Only on very uneven road.....

I remember someone on the forum here said it was the lumbar support.
The front seat rear cover needs to be removed and parts lubricated inside there...
