The seats in my 98My UK Turbo squeek like hell !

The passenger one does it when no-one is in it, until the car warms up, then the drivers side takes over !!! - It seems to be the side bolsters on the seat part, next to the occupants legs...

Anyone any ideas how to cure it, or is it 'replacement' time....

Both my front seats squeeked as well. I found silicone spray to be the best fix, but i have to re-apply every 3 to 4 weeks.

Wd40 lasts longer but it's not cloth friendly and i dont like the smell or the mess it makes.

I've found that my irritating grating squeek comes from the seat belt units (beside handbrake) a squirt of WD40 has sorted it (down where you push the seat belt).

Used to have the same irritating squeak from my seat belts on my old MY98.
Used to sound like there was a bird stuck in the seat belt clasp tweating away all day.
WD40 used to do the trick, but make sure you don't get it on your clothes from the buckle.
