Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

I can’t honestly remember exactly where, but sure it was the fore/aft lever.

Just use a dry lube spray on all moving bits under the seats Only took a tiny squirt here and there and the noise disappeared.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

1 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

My driver seat started squeeking last summer. And it gets worse. I am pretty sure its from the seat base/slider area. This problem started last summer and got worse over time. In the beginning i got rid of the noise sliding the seat from max forward to back a few times. That maybe lubed the slider? Could it be noise from base/slider out of alignment or the seat adjustment lever rubbing? Or only need for lubrication? Please check this. Squeeking also when pulling the lever https://vimeo.com/809510115 https://vimeo.com/809513023

Haha that’s a great video. I had exact same problem/noise with my 997.2 buckets. Just use a dry lube spray on all moving bits under the seats Only took a tiny squirt here and there and the noise disappeared.
