Hey Fellow Worldcom'er,

I thought my seat was squeaking as well. Turns out it was the lower seat belt mechanism. I have yet to go in there and spray the belt spool with some lubricant, but hopefully that will cure the problem.

:cheers:

It seems worse when i first hop in the car - after i'm in for a couple minutes, my brain either ignores it or it stops. :crazy:

Think i'm gonna take mine out and check the bolts though - someone else posted on this, where he took it out and had his g/f help him check. I think that was for a rocking problem, but can't hurt to check!

This squeaking drivers seat has been bugging me also. I can't seem to pin point where it is exactly but it is around the area of the seat retractor. I will get the WD-40 out and give it a squirt!
