Squeaky Leather Seats?
Does everyones leather sound really squeaky and make a lot of noise when you sit down or move around in them? Is there any easy fix for this? It just makes the leather/vinyl sound really cheap IMO...

To cure that squeaking IMO try Meguiar's Gold Class leather wipes.
It keeps the leather supple and moisturizes it as well.To the chagrin
of many 'Vette owners not just C5 the leather has been regarded
as cheap.
Try to keep things out of your back pockets also.

I tried some of those wipes and it helped a little but not really. It makes a lot of noise when you move around in the seat or especially when the seat is being adjusted via seat memory. Anyone else have other suggestions?

I use the Meguiar's as well and don't notice any sounds while I'm in the seat after it's adjusted.
I believe you're referring to the sound that occurs when the seat is being adjusted, and I agree it is a little irratating in a sense that it sounds like it ate mexican for dinner.
I live with it.

Some leather conditioner on the seats should cure the squeak. Plus it will make the leather last longer.

Well...I'm stumped.The only other thing I can suggest is maybe put
on neoprene seat-covers,if the squeaking is that intolerable.Little
pricey but,it'll preserve your seat covers.
