Default Sti Hatch Seat Creak

Hi
The drivers seat on my sti hatch has developed a creaking noise when I go over the slightest bump, it’s becoming very annoying. I was wondering if anyone had experienced the same and knew a way of fixing it?
Cheers
Lee

The previous owner of my car got dealer to fix. Replaced a very expensive part , seat frame I think but can't be sure. But it started again in my ownership. I think it was leather/foam rubbing on metalwork right under my ***. I sprayed wd40 on a few bits and it stoped.

Did you have to remove seat to spray with wd40 or could it be done in situ?
