Default Squeaking seat backrest?

Heard it a few days ago on the driver side. the lower portion of the backrest is squeaking just enough to drive me insane.

I've messed with all I can (change lumbar setting, position tap, push pull) and I can't get rid of it.

anyone have a similar issue?

Going to have to take her to the dealer for it, and pray they put the seat and seat cover back together without messing anything up.

I tried getting a video, but it looked too funny with me trying to make it squeak on the video by bouncing/moving around (like going over bumps etc) lol. you can surely hear it in the video though. Maybe i'll take a better video for educational purposes and it put it up.

it's the GT seat btw. (2LT)

Take a look at this thread. Sounds like a similar problem was solved.

Good Luck!

Hey Ron,

I found it and brought back up here. Hopefully the originator will post how he did what he did.
