sitting in a creaky old leather chair, and it's annoying as hell.
Is this normal leather sound from these cars, cause we don't get it in the s4?

Default An easy fix...just did mine by STFA..fuzzy part of velcro on every surface..

of the seat belt receiver/holder where it makes contact with the seat. Viola seats are quiet!!

Make sure to do both front seat belt receivers.

Default Ya, I've done that on both cars already...The sound comes from the actual seat where your back rests

I'm guessin this isn't normal? :|

Default My seats do exact same thing-Weird feeling on your back-I assume its normal, cuz as far as I can

tell, its just leather rubbing on leather when you lean into it. It was annoying for a while but now I don't even notice it. Maybe putting something in the grooves, creating less friction would do the trick.

Default MIne does briefly on cold mornings...but only if I force my lower back rearward, sitting normally...

...yields no issues. My dash, however, does creak. :/
