My seat was squeeking and driving me insane but my dealer fixed it by lubricating. It hasn't made a sound in > 10K miles.

Default Mine is getting ridiculous - it sounds so cheap. I'm going to take it to the dealer this week.

Default Well, I also have a squeaky shifter and clutch. Rattling doors. Buzz in the dash.

Mine squeeked shortly after purchase, but a little bit of white lithium grease quelled the noise permanently. I'm not particularly heavy (~170 lbs) and the noise manifested itself when depressing any pedal-- including the dead pedal. So this was a dead give away for the noise source. Prior to lubricating, try incrementally lowering the seat and move it fore or aft just a tiny bit. You may find the noise is gone and you've lost the ability to replicate it.

Searl
