While troubleshooting a similar squeak I moved the seat to the extremes of its travel...
to have a good look under there. Once I did this, I felt like an Audi Dealer. I had to tell myself "can not reproduce."

I have had the same issue in my '02...here's what I found...
I have found that this squeek noise on/near the right rear seat is actually caused my the net partition contraption which is attached to the seat. If I remove this from the seats and put the seat backs up, the noise is gone. Completely...zip, nada, no noise...
Once it is slid back onto the seats, the noise is back. I have tried various bumpers to 'tighten' things up - some success, but then I will get a squeek from the other side...I HATE THESE KIND OF NOISES!!!!!
Still working on finding out what the heck is rubbing....
Let me know if you have any success!

I cured an annoying squeak,...
...which your post reminded me I had, by using white lithium grease from a spray can wiped on with a paper towel. (WD-40 isn't my lube of choice.)
The squeak was from the hook latch where the rear seat back (this was the driver's side) hooks itself in place. Must have been dust on the post the hook clicks onto, or something.
But thanks for the reminder. Last night I read this and went out and greased the thing. This morning, I was back to peace and quiet.

I played the net partition game
I thought the same, that the net was the culprit. I removed it and I found the added weight of the partition was rocking the seat backs, enhancing the squeek. Removal reduced the occurance but not the noise. Only after I sprayed the silicon lube did it finally disappear.
Also before the final fix I tried greasing the latches as HPH did but that was not my noise... but now they work really good!

Hey rr_allroad!!
Thanks a TON for the advice on fixing the rear seat squeak!! I never would have thought to silicone spray the actual seat pivot points. Did this yesterday and vwalla!! Noise is totally gone. I can sleep much easier at night now thanks to you !! That was driving me nuts.
I was totally convinced that it was something with the net partition thing...
Thanks again!
