Help: Squeaky seats
Just got my SG 2LT Z51 vette last week, really happy with the car so far but the seats noise is driving me nuts. Every time I hit a little bump on the road it'll make a squeaky noise from the lumbar support area....I've tried different seat positions but nothing helps. Any help/ideas will be appropriated.

I thought I was the only one! Mines been squeaking since I picked it up as well. It's not a weight issue as my wife drove the car and it still squeaked. Tried different seating positions too, and that didn't solve it.

9,000 miles here.
My passenger seat has squeaked since day one. I have found that if I move it forward an inch, squeak is gone. I have to move it while the car is moving though. When in Sport or Track mode, there is an incessant no is coming from the passenger side dash or door area. Wish I could find that one.

Oct built 2015 3LT with touring seats w/1500 miles. My driver side started squeaking just recently. Since it's started in the last 100 miles, I was going to wait a little longer to see if it's the weather or something else that's easy to fix. Dread going to the dealer.

I had a similar problem on my 2014. It squeaked loudly when the drivers seat moved forward and backward with memory recall or otherwise.
It began at about 2k miles. I finally had some time to take it to the dealer. They fixed it but their explanation made no sense. Something to the effect of some kind of greasy film on my seats. I think not. Only used Poor Boys Natural Look. So I still don't buy their explanation.
3LT interior with standard seats. All works well now.
