Default Help! Driver's seat is creaking like mad and...

dealer can't seem to fix it. They said they tightened up the hardware, but no joy. Anyone know what's the likely cause and solution?

It creaks under acceleration, braking, turns. Will even creak at rest if I move around in the seat!

Default Solution:

Slide the seat front to back 1/2 a dozzen times. You will move the grease on the track rails around when you do this and get rid of your creaking sounds. I do this about once a month.

I'll try it, thanks! Will this work on a power seat?

Maybe, there should still be rails that the seat slides on, give it a whirl. (or push the button :P)
